The head came off due to the previous keeper / mechanic breaking off glow plugs.

Although I secretly wanted to decoke it and check the valve seating

Anyway talking of sex. I just walked into the BMW dealership. The girls behind the counter? DAMN!!! Especially the blonde in the tights.

Next time, I won't turn up unshaved, covered in shit from engine, and in a Mondeo, to buy a £1 seal for my 17 year old 5 series  ;D
It's not what you've got, lad, it's how you use it. Drive your 17 year old beemer through the showroom window, that'll get her attention.   ;D

I think you're doing a great job - you're just hitting all the snags that are always there.

My wife laughs when I tell her it's only a simple job and won't take long....although at the weekend I had a job that actually did take the expected amount of time. Ironically it was replacing the glow plugs in my BMW!

Cars, especially old ones are full of hidden "challenges".

I was joking with my next door neighbour friend at the weekend that we should start a youtube channel called "M&M's 5 minute jobs", with the running joke being that they all take at least an hour  ;D

If it did fall in

and

If any bits of it are small enough to get through the strainer

then they will be little pieces of rubber that will go straight through the oil pump without harming it and stop in the oil filter.

You worry too much...........

Your problem, James, is that you need to be older than you are.  ;D

Despite now being 33, I still get told this quite a lot  :-\::)
