Hi all, quick bit of advise required.
Was doing a Service last night, and decided to change the sump gasket at the same time seeing as its got a bit of a leak.
That (being what i read as the difficult bit) Was easy. Changed it over, and lined it up pretty quick.
So onto the Oil filter. Stuck, had this before, But with a filter tool (though not a chain) I couldn't get it to move. Stupidly thought "i could tap that round with a hammer and chisel" But no, ****part filter been on 3 months, and sized solid, also made of cheese compared with Genuine LR one.
So some abuse later the Filter is mangled and still no closer to moving.
So as its only a couple miles from work to the Garage, i thought i'd be able to drive (as it'd sat running -albeit noisy- when i moved it to clean up the oil). But after about 200m of driving, it clonked out. So kind of what i expected, but i'd hoped to get a bit closer to the garage!)
My question is, does any have a rough idea of whats the problem may be? seeing as it now won't start.
And or the damage that may have ensued?
I assume something to do with the lack of compression?
Its an old (reconditioned) 19J. Which I do plan to swap it at some point when i can afford a 200tdi.
Cheers in advance.
