Title: Another bad day
Post by: unlucky mark mv6 on 06 July 2009, 20:21:31

Had another one today,so getting to the end of my tether with it now.Changing the oil today,filled the car  with new oil,and started engine,and it decided to empty its contents all over the bloody drive,so had to go out and buy another 5 litres,apart from the new oil filter housing cap that shattered.Anyone want to buy a 3.2 for £50,oh go on then £49. ;D ;D ;)

I've heard it's not uncommon for the power sounder to self ignite, and it doesn't take a lot of damage to write the car off financially  ;)

could find some room on the drive.

 Wheres the oil coming from exactly? Did you re fit the relevant seals in the filter canister?

Yes chris i did fit the new seal that came with the filter,in a fashion anyway ;D,i actually put it on wrong right against the edge of the cap instead of the proper groove it sits in,so i hold my hands up to that one(what a idiot i am),but to be fair i had to break the old cap out,so dident really know where the seal came from. :P
