Which ever complete tw*t owned this car before me at some point is really starting to get on my tits.
The level plug is rounded off!!
I gave up with that and have done my cam cover (got the nice new gm with gm gaskets and o-rings for £57 + VAT today
) on the passenger side, touch wood all will be well with it...
As for the autobox, looks like it'll be a new sump cover - that won't be a messy job AT ALL seeing as I won't be able to drain the bloody thing before hand!!
You also would not believe what happened this morning before I went to pick up my elite wheels, filled up to full for the first time since buying the car - £40 quid in and its popping the handle.. hmmm £40 isn't enough, £30 quid only half fills - so I carry on..
10 secs later STRONG smell of fuel, look at the handle and filler neck, nothing.. now I can hear it running - woman behind me shouting STOP! Look down, its absolutely gushing out from under neath, we're talking waterfall gushing here!
1 hour, lots of sand, and an AA man later - some fool hasn't tightened up the seal around the fuel pump on top of the tank....
Got my wheels eventually, when I've finished tarting them up it might not be such an all bad day!!!
