So.....an and update on my car...
I went to the garage because a Rob was rebuilding his engine, and said it would be interesting (which is was), and I asked him to have a look and listen to my car, as it wasn't sounding right, I through it was a simple problem and could be fixed rather easily.... oooh was I wrong.... it trued out to be a head gasket problem.... so I had that pretty much refurbished, with took 3 days when they said it would only take a day and a half...then after that, Rob subjected to do a service on it, which was need anyway, that created more problems than it fixed, I managed to cross tread the sump plug bolt and so, the oil was leaking/dripping out. My car had now been in the garage for a week with bugger all being done to it....
Ah right. I thought it was only the sump plug that had gone...
Your car is all good and running now isn't it? ready for L2B? :)
No, for some reason, the gearbox casing is made of alloy, and the sump plug (the easily replaceable part) is made of steel. so the sump plug strips the threads in the gearbox casing.
a-series fail.
it wasn't on friday, but I don't know what happened saturday obviously
ah right. That makes sense cause at first I was like that no problem at all as just buy new sump plug lol You can buy a helicoil kit but not sure how that works.
Adam text me on Saturday to say hes fixed it by putting a tapered plug in the sump and using sealant.. lol As long as it holds, thats the main thing !
