[Mr Skrunts]

I once saw a car try to pass a lorry and be smart on that one, 1st time I every saw a truck drive straight over the bonnet of a car.  and it was all the car drivers fault.

lol i know what you mean but sports mode is a bit scetchy- i found it hard in the 2.0 to know when it was going to go sideways, it's easy in the manual as you just plonk it and can see as you start going sideways to see out of a side window

the 3.0 made me poo myself before it decided to try eating its self lol, i went round canklow roundabout with macdonalds on it in first and this was before i got the multiram sorted so was a bit underpowered... and it went very very sideways lol - i came off the roundabout to go back towards halfords and i was looking at the signs out of the front window that are in the middle just after you've come off the roundabout (i didnt poo myself much did i hmm)

oh yeah, when i said about dropping the clutch into second like a hooligan... i meant doing it on a straight road after gritters had been out and that was with tc on lmao!

I have fond memories of power slididing round that one.

I managed to powerslide the car sideways all the way round it a very long time ago.  I had a Sylvia turbo at the time, was fun.  I certainly wouldnt try it there these days as the plod are often sat in McD's

lol iv never seen plod in mcdonalds tbh, i havnt plucked up the courage yet to try and slide all the way round yet but would possibly have the power if in the wet  

but yeah skruntie your welcome to have a nosey at the garage where i do all my playing

sorry to go off topic andy...
if you want then i can always pop round to yours earlier on tomorrow to have a gander at your 3.0 for you and try to advise?

i have a feeling that your going to end up needing the t55 torx socket that you should already have from taking the 2.0 head off lol...
if your lucky then you wont have to take the oil cooler out and it'll just be the heater bridge thats causing the leak!

[star_whites]

Dont worry about it, just trying to see if anyone else has a different opinion on it.

I think I already have most of the torx sockets from doing the 2.0 but Im not certain. Come round when you want, weather permiting I will be out there from about 10.30. Need her back on the road for monday morning for work lol

As you've stripped it thar far, you might aswell replace al accible joints and seals.

[ngrainqey]

i'v set off walking to my omegas at 6:D

A lot of work if he isn't lucky.  

[star_whites]

Stripping it down dont bother me, what does bother me is that I dont have the seals to refit the parts with afterwards as I need it back on the road, otherwise its very early mornings, public transport and long walks lol

[ngrainqey]

if it comes to it andy i have an exhaust manifold gasket and some head gaskets (doesnt look like my presumably valve muncher is going anywhere fast lol)
