Title: sod it
Post by: Martin_1962 on 27 September 2008, 16:45:22
Been working on hte car this afternoon  - thought it would be an easy oil change.

Apart from having the wrong socket ratchet and forgetting to go under with the filter it was.

But

1) Big oil leak - cam cover seals :( :'(

2) Back suspension is down and soft, springs? shocks?

3) My back is agony after leaning over the engine for 20 minutes.

4) Rear tyres shot :(

HAving a mug of tea then out to do the pollen filter another big job as the scuttle is a bit blocked (cleaned this time last year) and I have to shift the ECU ::)

I suppose I could employ James for a couple of days - I'll do the back and he can do the front ;D ;D

I was fine when I was under - leaning over is agony :-[

Scuttle was blocked - by sand - a little oik chucked sand over my car on holiday and I had washed it off into the scuttle.

Vacuumed it out then VAXed the area and water went through fine, the old pollen filter was disgusting.

My part list is getting big!! :(
