Webby have you worked on cars before?  Because you are inspiring me do my own maintenance. All I need is tools and some balls

[Webby the Bear]

I win!!!



Bit nackered. All packed up now. Scuttle back. Am I ok to leave the batt negative off until tomorrow? It's wrapped in kitchen roll!

SMD,

Lol no mate, never. Just joined here about 3 year ago and decided I wanted to give it a go with the Clarkson line ''how hard can it be'' on repeat on my iPod  . The inspiration is from these guys... I've just followed their guides 

I have a guide where the likes of TB, Tunnie, Albs, Daz etc etc kindly gave me a list of ''essentials''. I'll PM it to you if you like as I keep everything in my faves

Tomorrow, cleaning breathers and going to aim to get to the diss-pac. Should be a bit easier without the plenum 

Shattered!

Hahaha I nearly asked myself that 

Only two things ent wrong... I dropped a bolt down the engine somewhere (was only the one that holds the EGR to the bracket and I'm pretty sure I can raid my tool box and find another one)..... Then I picked up my toolbox and it wasn't secured properly so now I got to find the right space for 1 ;1 hunderd and something bits hahaha 

If that had happened at 10am this morning I'd hae gone back to bed

You deserve a beer or three. Well done mate.

Dropping the bolt and spilling the contents of tool box - weve all done it (many times in my case),its a rite of passage.
Dont talk to DLK about rites of passagr.He thinks it means something else entirely.

Get yourself one of those magnets on a telescopic "pole" - found them indispensible in retrieving lost nuts, bolts etc.
A must if you take the inlet manifold off a V6 - makes it se easy.
