Question Joe ? the top of your snorkel, aren't you afaird of water getting in there by a big splash or going down the road in rain? If it was turned 180 there wouldnt be as much chance? the HGV here have them facing the other way for that reason?

did the oil change as the roofing job lined up was a no no in this wind :doh:.
when i took the cap off the rotery filter noticed the bolt on the engine side of it was a tad loose

, when i put it all back together bastid would'nt tighten at all

turned out the fookin numpty who did it before i had the landy must have lost 1 of them bolts and replaced it with a normal M6 bolt (not the same thread

).
will only do up hand tight seems to be ok no leaks will have to do something wityh it over the weekend (any ideas anyone? sarky answers on a post card

)

did think i might work a dab of chemical metal into it and ease the bolt back in then tweek it up the next day when it was hard . (failing that might ask the guys in the engineering workshops i'm working in if someone could cut a new fred in for me )

If you use chemical metal you leave a blob on the thread at the end of the bolt so screw it in further than you need then when its gone off unscrew, pop a couple of washers under the head and refit.

New fred sounds more betterer...

they are m6 std thread iirc and you can use longer bolt if some threads left at bottom ,as im sure i did one for someone a bit back as we had to wait a bit for new part

i got a longer m6 bolt thinking i might get a nut on the bottom (or if i could have got the bolt up through to get a nut above).
seems to be holding a seal atm not happy about it though

Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
