Couple of pics

 

The gearbox I bought to have the LSD fitted, so I wouldn't have the car off the road, had seen better days:

I guess for £20 I'm not complaining!

 

Sold a few parts out the garage recently so only seemed fair to spend a little on some new cleaning things:

Was quite happy with poorboys products

 

Undecided on the Dodo Juice, seems very pricey and not that amazing...

 

couple of pics with the said products used on wings and bonnet:

Hello mate.

 

I'm not sure I follow, the cars parked on your drive isn't it, just come back from somewhere?

 

What's happened?

 

Any other symptoms, I mean are the gauge readings a result of the problem or have the high temps blown something else?

 

Don't sweat it though, why no give it to Ross, cheaper than the garage.

Not having a go, but if you have gauges showing the oil and water temps.... why let them go that high?

 

I agree, i think it went pop just round the corner from my house - pot hole / speed bump / large hole... as it shot up.... most of the heat from oil loss.

He's busy.... scarily busy for being able to sort it out, this way give to garage hop on bus to work..... did consider kidnappinig of said person...

 

 

you checked to see if the wires or sensors aren't loose or the gauges are reading incorrectly??

 

Nope, oil loose should be main cause... i will check with my lap top to see what's going on, but it has a massive oil leak which is priority to sort
