Okay, new banjo bolts and washers should be here tomorrow but i've concerns about the thread on the oil cooler  :-\
After my soon to be dismembered son had knackered the last bolt and i'd managed to remove what was left of it with careful use of a hammer and screwdriver, my gut instinct says the internal thread may be dodgy  :-\

Just in case, would a nice dose of Blue Hylomar type substance blathered  carefully applied to the thread of the new bolt do the trick  :-\

What makes you think it is a problem is the thread clean does there look like there is anything left there, I would use new washers too and gently and slowly do it up if it feels at all dodgy then I suspect the thread in the cooler is bollaxed.  :(

I'm one of the unluckiest blokes on the planet, that's why  ;D ;D ;D

Put it back together yesterday and took it for a 20 mile drive with no oil leak problems  :)

Now it looks like while flushing the radiator out, i've cracked one of the cores  >:(

For Sale
Various body parts from a ham fisted git18 year old son who over tightened the piggin front banjo bolt on the oil cooler causing it to fracture and leak nice fresh oil all over my clean engine and nearly cause me to have another nervous breakdown  >:( >:(

It's called 'On the job training'. ;D ;D ;D
