      Oh no your fiddling again, dont overtighten front and rear sump bolts Martin, or you will have a big oil leak followed by loss of oil pressure. This happend to my mate Pete, one front sump bolt blew out followed by contents of his sump all over the road,he heard the bolt bounce back off the road and pulledmover swiftly, thread had gone on ally cross piece.

      Oh ye of little faith!!!!!, I didn't need to replace the gasket as there was no oil weeping around the sump to block joint.:-). 4 bolts had oil shipping from them so each one has been removed, cleaned and replaced with a good dollop of RTV and hopefully Robert is my fathers brother ;-)

  13. Looking forward to using some more grown up words , whilst I put the trailing arms/driveshafts/hubs and the diff back in. should be s fun next few days!!!!!!!!

  14. One trailing arm done, one to go!!!!!!!!

  15. Opps just thought, as I'm removing the trailing arms to replace the poorly bushes, I've just thought I'll be playing with the rear suspension again........DOH!!!!!!!
