That one sounds interesting to check. as when i lowered the sump, the dipstick pipe also followed and i probably smacked it around :D that does really sound as what has happend, i’ll check that one out when back from work cheers :) Weird i can start the car tho if i were to miss that earth.

hmm, old regulator did atleast charge it some, but idk… With the old regulator i could drive, but abit low volts on the battery, and becm and rest of system.. Why would it just brake like that then? Is it not odd, that it worked the night before? Also, as i described earlier, had 12.44 ish...

i am coooooooonfused. I have 12.3 volts on battery and airbag fault in display, that is not normal. Airbag fault usually comes if its under 12... (ignition 1) I've checked that the fusebox has same voltage as the battery. I almost, always get a bigger issue whenever i fix something else. Guess...

Good point, but mine self adjusts sometimes in odd times ive noted.. with ignition off So i just didnt want it to self adjust

I dont have any leads or jumper cables @Datatek I only have a 450amp booster pack from black and decker

Well yes, i had the passenger door open. To block the suspension going crazy

The battery light does not come on. i did however got a alternator fault message in the dash just now (ignition 1) not engine on.

When i take on ignition it acts like it always has before. many lights comes up (no fault messages) then when i take the engine on, it is normal, only abs and handbrake light on, 2-3 sec after battery light is toggling on and off in intervals, few seconds appart. Got Abs fault, airbag fault...

Ok so it appears my gear oil lvl is fine, however i now have a bad bad charge. Car on idle, 12volts only thing ive done is charging the battery up. Note, i charged it yesterday, full. Came back to 12.4 today. Now it does not even charge, i have airbag fault, srs light, also battery light. Both...

Yes, they were all tight. Did not have a magnet in sunp however, old filter covered in old material i suppose

New filter in, ready for sump and lucas oil

I think so, dont know why. Its from gfycat. I embedded the link and sadly couldnt get it to work :(

You are right, its just the dipstick and i can infact drop the sump no issues. Just need a zippie for the dipstick after its remounted

I do have a small fire extinguisher in hands reach now atleast.

Oh, shait. Not advisable? I put rust penetrator on but to not much help yet..

Cheers! gotta get the blow torch. Stuck on.. Tried kicking it with my foot!

The nut is huge! 31-32MM.

I have a pump thingy to fill it from that pipe hole if i undo it. Ive got aa bottle of lucas aswell tho
