Well I'm currently sat on the hard shoulder of the m6 waiting for a new sump plug and some oil as mine have decided to vacate the vehicle.

That is all. :wtf:

Feel sorry for you buddy, I'm currently sat at home with my Nova parked 11 miles away at work; not running with electrical gremlins.

I'm south bound just after junction 36. Luckily I killed the engine as soon as I heard the sump plug bounce under the car so a quick top up with oil and a new plug should see me right.

Traffic Panda's will close all the lanes on the whole of the M6 then, whilst they get a specialist to come and put some sawdust on it.

No It means there's a litreish on the m6 and about 3.5 running down the drain on the hard shoulder lol

The traffic wombles best not bother me its hard enough sitting at the side of the road, I don't need them to come poking around saying things like this is highly dangerous we must have you moved, the carriageway closed and a clean up team here at once. lol

I thought I had lost the plot buying 4 engines lol

Before the engines this project had set me back 2 grand over a year including buying the car, now I've easily spent 1200 on engines and gasket sets :eek:
