Sigh. I suppose, being a 3.2 owner, I need to learn to expect to see these codes at some point.

Or get better with your welder  ;D ;D ;D
Err, yes, exactly  :-[

Mind you, you're looking at the person who can't change the rather oil on it....   :-[  :-[  :-[  :-[

Mind you, I have had some successes with the welder:

The grill element on her cooker
A stand I made for her
Bracket for the RAID card in the OOF server (long story)
Fallic 'growths' inside Goldie before it was scrapped ::)

dunno if I was doing it wrong...but once I undid the 10000nm torque the last bloke had used, it still seemed an awful lot of effort given the socket size needed to undo it.

Ive done an entire oil and filter change with the old system in the time it took me to remove the new cap.  :-/

Once the cap is replaced correctly, I find it takes about same time. If anything, marginally less messy.
