Gearbox input seal is damaged.
Often caused as a result of box removal and then re-fit of the box without fitting the torque converter to it first.

Omega General Help / Re: Coolant Level Sensor
« on: 14 May 2014, 15:08:11 »
Check its not the float sticking, remove the coolant cap and rotate the float with your fingers, push it down and release when doing this.
Its usualy just crudd and doing this free's it up.
But dont burn yourself.

Euro 5 standard requires it, some Euro 4 also need it.
Its added at about 5% of the diesel consumption, cant see it beingdetectable at MOT time though.
It can drop CO2 levels so hence reduces tax banding.....I note that some of the 'Blue Motion' Vadge units need it now to.....

The 350 requires adblue, which the four pots don't... worth bearing in mind if you do alot of urban work...
What's that?
Its a wanky additive squirted into the exhaust of some diesels to meet emission requirements.
The better engines out there dont need it and it works with the catalyist to reduce NOx levels.
Urea and water are the main ingredients (hence beer piss would do the same thing).
A real pain in the arse in reality......ask a haulier what they think lol

Have you consderer a fire blanket for your kitchen, a very useful item for those rare circumstances that you need them.
I would recommend one just big enough to cover a double garage, very useful.

Omega General Help / Re: Crankshaft pulley bolt worn problem
« on: 14 May 2014, 12:45:30 »
Once ground off, the bolt should be pretty loose, most of the time you can wind them out with your fingers.
The length remaining will be the width of the sprocket (which can then be removed)

You be very careful, playing with fire can be very dangerous and have long lasting consequences resulting in the loss of personal property such as bikes, tents and tools.

In which case, can you try the next size down, 16mm.
If badly damaged then you may need to file some of the flats.
If you have a replacement bolt then you could grind the head off.
