I need to know if its a re usable washer on there i have no diy gaskets only silicone

Heres a better picture of it

But can i undo this pipe? (Is this the actual pipe for the dipstick? As it is quite big. ) looks like i need inbetween 20-25 mm wrench to undo it. I have an adjustable atleast…

Why do i always get the weird shait? :eek: 2 washers on my drain plug. Leak free tho, advised to remove one? oh almost forgot to say, the washer which followed my kit is way too small. I drained the fluid now atleast. Dunno if i wanna drop the sump if that pipe may leak if theres an old...

Well, found out why previous owner didnt bother doing the filter. First off, theres a bolt as drain plug, no allen key. Second, theres no fill plug :oops: theres a pipe line running into the sump, and i suppose theres a gasket or o ring there.. dont know if i am going to do the filter afterall...

I never paid attention in english classes :D Almost had an F in it :D Self learnt/learnt by others who screams at me for spelling wrong :D If you miss spell on the internet, you must prepare yourself :D Got great feedbacks on my english capabilities in my early school years, as i played...

Ok, cheers. Gonna tackle the gear oil now. Sad to say, but i am thinking my harmonic balancer is going out soon. I believe this is my thud squeech sound when taking the engine off. Its gotten worse now by the winter. I suppose temperature changed did the rubber bad? went from 10c, to -7c to...

I put it on a charger, battery should be full to the brim tmw with my 15amp charger. I took on my lamps etc, whilst engine off to remove the surface charge etc, waited some hours and it looks like its at 12.6 volts. So it must have charged the battery some on the trip. Yay :rolleyes: Im gonna...

It was indeed abit hard. Used 2-3 hours on it. Even had to fix my spanner first as it had rusted stuck. So that took some time aswell.. The regulator itself was quite easy to replace. 2 nuts, and 1 screw. 3 nuts for the plastic cover and 2 for the wire connectors. The old regulator did seem...

I did manage to pull it off :) Just broke off a little piece, but that ain't too bad. Will need to cut a small slot in it, as the only problem is the power steering hose being way to close. Haven't taken it back on tho. I feel so stupid to not take advantage of the air suspension! i haven't...

and no, @Flossie nothing goes smooth with me. Not even the air filter as i ordered the wrong the first time :D Changed engine oil and filter- broke the socket thingy on the top of the filter cover. Actually, the only thing which has gone smooth is diff oil, that was a fairly easy job. Last...

After a 30min run, i came back to the garage. Parked it all up and then it started idling worser than before. You could see the interior light dim up and down as the rpm went from 700-750. Also have this weird noise when turning off the engine, more noticeable now :eek: Abit like a squeech, i...

Yup, thats the issue. I watched work on p38 videos for a long time now. He actually had a video on this, sadly no photage ripping out the cover.. Anyhow, made it work now! I assume its this high voltage as the batterys quite low. (12.3volts before starting up)

U got a petrol? Mines a 97dse Got all nuts of bbut holy shid that plastic cover is so stuck inbetween the hose :mad: tried prying for 30mins!!

How in earth am i supposed to do the volt regulator?? The power steering hose is in the way! I started with the 2 nuts on the contacts, aint no regulator loose. Then i gi ahead take of plastic cover nuts and find 1s blocked by the power steering hose…. Whaaat??

Fingers crossed for tomorrow then. I think i will fill the gearbox all the way up from the fill plug until it oozes out, then close it off, and just fill the rest from the dipstick.. Im atleast putting my lucas inside the sump before fitting it back. I can't bother going under the car while its...

Gasket does have the shape of the sump, so hopefully fits. Should atleast. yep my sump gasket were folded 3 times (both ends) Looks flat now, as i crushed it under a 20ton press. jk

i have some engine gaskets from britpart. their on a piece of cardboard with blue britpart print all over it. I assume the one i have is not britpart then as its just plain cardboard. Bought the kit from british parts. Got the car inside a garage now, so i can hopefully tackle it dry.

dunno why, but it appears i only got a drain plug washer.. stc4099 I bought it from British parts. I did not see it was labeled as britpart, perhaps repackaged. my plan is to remove the sump and change filter yes. I dont have the plastic shield thing i think. are you talking about a exhaust...

Im ready for gear oil change, with lucas trans fix in, and swapping the voltage regulator. Just have a question about this piece?? is that circular thingy just a protective cap? i Took it off, (had 2) 1 were hollow (which was loose in the package) and the other one seemed to hold the 2...
