Busy day today,
when I moved the car off for wiring a few weeks ago there was a puddle of oil under the car.
Couldn't really understand it, as when it's running there was nothing pouring out....
Believing it to be crank seal we whipped the box out in 45 mins flat.

Despite a bit of oil out the bolt holes the seal was surprisingly dry... got the air line out to clean and blow it of, as the nozzle got onto the sump join to the block an explosion of oil out the crank bolt holes!! Bloody sump leak.

So off with the sump, 3 bolts round that end loose!! School boy error when I fitted them, no sealant on the threads at all.

Clear to see!!
Bit of cleaning and some 3 bond

Then I snapped a bolt putting it back together!! With luck on my side (for a change) I managed to work the broken bit of bolt out with a pick!!
Clean and reseal, back together.

Flywheel and box on quick wash and it's ready to be a paper weight at VBOA!!
Snapped a sump bolt!!! How tight you doing them!?
Piss off pal.Quote:

Houses arms are calibrated. Unfortunately the calibration is between small ogre and large ogre.

This is looking flash!! All the power feed cables run, keypad fitted.
I approve of the crimping. Cabling looks awesome mate.

Lovely job.
Professional detail like that on the electrics just set it apart from lesser cars.
The cost sets it apart aswell Colin!!! Hahaha bloody money pit!!!!!Quote:

It's incase you have a pin problem, bent or damaged that needs replacing or you need to move a pin for any reason, there's no hope of pulling any slack out of the loom so it goes there in the connector bootQuote:

When I 1st looked, thought they were common links but had to zoom in after you mentioned it.

His knowledge of wiring and cable is frankly scary and a little bit worrying.
Although I am looking forward to him working out how to program this dash!! Hahaha
Edited my post to add this too mate!!Quote:

I tend to add about 6 inches at the end that is to be ran and connected, cutting it back once in place.

So he only loops the bulkhead ends but just said you should do both ends really but not many do that.Quote:
