As above. with martin42 and we cant get it in  no jokes please. anyone got a picky of where it goes

[Shackeng]

TB knows, as he can't get his out!

[omega3000]

 

Only one hole 

[omega3000]

[Darth Loo-knee]

I assume you mean at the top? It shares tge "B.stard Bolt" with the transfer pipe from the thermostat and the engine lifting bracket

[martin42]

All done,webby got it in 1st time lol 

[Webby the Bear]

cheers guys and massive thanks again to the mad mechanic 

yeah got a bit lucky with the dipstick..... put it in roughly where I thought it should go, gave it a wiggle and it went in the hole  bit of bashing with a hammer on a block of wood to get it in..... job done 

its soooo very nearly done. got to get the aux belt tensioner off as I think the front cambelt cover needs replacing as its rubbing against the tensioner.... think it got warped when it got hot. lucky I have a spare 

so...... downpipe bolts. then all the bits at the front. and its ready to start

You managed to get the dipstick tube out? HTF did you manage that, as buggered if I can remove mine

[albitz]

Webby,you have just become the forum expert on the one thing no-one else knows.

not really sure.  iirc martin got it out using brute force as, if im honest, I don't have a lot of strength 

what have you tried?

martin got the thing out.... but I must take the credit for putting it back  i'm not going to say it was luck..... just used common sense

You've only had 1 go. I've proved myself to be a failure twice

We would have if the poxy thing had come out

[symes]

to get tube out -you have to wriggle and pull at same time--as tube only held by O ring

[martin42]

I know that lol,Tb if you need me to show you how its done,let me know 

[Webby the Bear]

[Webby the Bear]

[Sir Tigger KC]

Not on that car

Even tried pulling it with molegrips whilst jiggling it

this may sound mental. BUT

if you have a small jack place it in the engine bay above the dipstick tube. cable tie the dipstick tube hole (where the bolt secures it) then loop it round the jack head. then pump away and let the jack pull it out. just an idea

[05omegav6]

Two 16 stone jacks with a pair of molegrips squashing it couldn't budge it

Funny, I don't remember him touching it. But then, my memory is crap.

[05omegav6]

Your memory is fine, he didn't go near it

I had first dibs, as you decided the b-bolt was too hard.

Therefore, it must be my fault . So. no, I couldn't possibly have touched it, no, not me.

[05omegav6]

  you couldn't get the bsdtd bolt back in either iirc, still, not my car
