Yep, that's it, exactly the same as mine, I think the person that I bought mine off didn't know the correct way to check the oil and topped it up thinking it was low

I wouldn't worry about the Fuel burning heater, but as I said, every time I tested mine, when I started the car after I had the blue smoke

I replaced the O rings, with ones from the god that is Jules, along with cleaning the PCV and EGR, it didn't stop the smoke though, but it's still worth doing as it really improve the acceleration and the MPG.

Probably best to do an oil change on yours, and replace the O rings with some from Jules
