Glad yer sorted pal. Now we can get back to sorting my shed
will it pass the mot missing a middle box?
if it does, that'll sound mmmm, very nice!!
I bet you will put the c/box back on when you get fed up of the drumming on a long runHa ha, I think a BIG bit of gun gum couldn't even fix that! I pulled it clean off and plonked it in the bin. The new back boxes arrive Monday....thinking on removing the centre box and replacing it with a straight pipe. The effect would be a gorgeous V8 grumble when the foot is down. Then I wouldn't need the stereo as the music off of those back pipes would be enough
Thoughts??
Its a p38. Every thing is wrongS'up with your shed Tony??
Can I give you a hand? Just the one mind, the other one is slightly wobbly at the moment

it worked on mine,with proper oil 20/50 mineral oil,only,good oil.Lol, I asked for that
Thought I had a rear wiper problem yesterday
It was stopped half way along its travel... no amount of pulling the stick would make it park. Resigned myself to another problem.
However, soon as I fired her up, it went away DOH!
Got a bit of an oil leak and fairly certain it's from the crank seal. It's a box off job, but the engine has only got 27k. I imagine sitting for 5 years not running killed the rubber and a year of non stop thrashing has exacerbated the leak.
Anyone tried that stop leak stuff? I believe it reinstates the rubber to a softer compound. Could be worth a try as in a year she's dropped about 3/4 of an inch on the dipstick

I would. Lot easier than a box off. Well worth a try or just keep an eye on level and keep toppin up .In that case, I shall mostly give it a go

Theres always sumet.
Good hobby though
Good decision get well soon palThat's just it, I've never needed to top up! The total oil loss since putting her (back) on the road last June is about a litre. I've only done 8k so a change due this year. I'll fling in some of that stuff all the same and when the engine needs to come out I'll do the seal. What's easier, engine out or box off? Most cars I just whizz the engine out, but I will need someone else to do it if it needs done in a hurry. I should be ok in about a year
The stop leak stuff works only on rubber seals ,not cork n paper,but try oil change n then half a bottle if leak still there in a week try a little more....whats left will go in your diffs if they start to dribble
You probably have water leaking into the sump maintaining the level, What, I was only joking.That's just it, I've never needed to top up!
