cheaper to get another engine-than car-keep throttle body from original engine---saves programming on tech 2--if drive by wire--and engine change isnt hard on a four pot-try a v6 att winter outside--i did--but im nuts

It is normal to get some steam when you remove filler cap from a hot/running engine. And mayo is formed to the cap when you drive short trips so condension water mixes with breathing fumes and forms mayo on filler cap

mainly on v6 not so much on four

General Car Chat / bonnet flipped up !!!

« on: 18 October 2014, 14:50:51 »

Yep luckily it was the rat--not miggy--somebody pulled bonnet pins out--I didn't notice went down road at about 50 mph-up it went--2x hinges bent and bonnet too DO not try this at home nor on a miggy-----
however hammer/welder and hot rod  ingenuity sorted it-oh and 2x plasters ---no animals were hurt in this production
culprit

fix-2x plasters after hammer and big boot to straighten bonnet

how it looks after repair-

not the approved method yed if you need to ask you wouldn't understand---its a rat thing

I've been selling stuff on ebay recently and have used Hermes who seem really good!   

You can drop parcels off at participating local corner shops some of which are open till 10pm and they're much cheaper than the Post Office. 

Although I've got a bit of an issue with a buyer at the moment as he's never in and the parcel needs to be signed for.    I think he's going to try to pin the blame on me for the non delivery! 

Only just found that out the other day , great idea and saves queuing in the post office  Not sure they would be pleased at dropping off a gearbox to post though 

only if you drain oil out
