Going missing is not something you should be joking about.

G'day lads. Thanks for your text earlier Steve.

Basically head mechanic left. The new head mechanic then broke his wrist a week in to his tenure.  ::) so I've been doing a shed load of overtime to keep up. I'm really not built for 6 and 7 day weeks  :'(

Anyway what's the word on the forum? Any interesting happenings?

Still working on the 0-60 time. . . . If I could get 5 minutes to install the spare multi ram I have  :'(

Or, as I tell myself, "think of the pension". It's the best way to avoiding lamping people...

Lol my wage ain't great. But ot is helping.

So I decide to change my multi ram valve. Thought ooooh I'll check for oil in plugs while I'm here. All pots full lol

I then think oh well I'll get them done and multiram next week. But I might as well check the vacuum boxes are ok. Pull up the pass side scuttle to be greeted with it full right up to the pollen filter with water lol

Removed the rubber grommet to drain it and went home lol
Cheap egay gaskets lasted a year and half though.
How long are oe ones lasting these days? Trying to decide which to go for

That is good going lazy :y got to say I'm guilty of neglecting the breathers. That's not to say I don't do them. But clearly not regular enough ::)

Good to see Webby the Bear back. I thought he had gone from 0-60 and beyond so fast in his Miggy he broke the space-time continuum to end up in the year 1068 and on his attempted return the crank sensor had packed up, so he was stuck there forever. ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Tbh, with regular oil changes (3-5k) and quality oil they don't need cleaning, just checking ;)

Indeed. It's neglected oil changes that causes them to block.

Then that's quite bizarre. I change my oil on a stupidly regular basis (2k miles is typical...not cos I'm a worry wart...I genuinely like changing it lol yes I'm a bit tapped)

Maybe it's due to the gaskets being poor.

Either way it's now got to be done again.

There's a reason most of the long standing members recommend genuine Vauxhall Gaskets from a Vauxhall dealership :-X :-X ::) ::) ;) ;)

Best thing you could do with it.


Isn't it about time you drank real beer?

lol its funny. I got some stick at the boozer a few weeks back for drinking Carlsberg.... ''you should be drinking real beer, lad''. the old boy told me. he had a pint of what looked like mud. with twigs in.

''this is from a micro brewery around the corner'' I was told as he pointed to his mud/twig combo. to which I replied ''theyre micro brewers that probably make 6 barrels of booze a year. Carlsberg are an international company. theres a reason for that''
