Hi akk, Take a look at these pictures below. Im no great mechanic but like to have a go at it. Are the little squares at the edge, oil wells that I assume the oil runs through ? Only one of the 6 wells is covered in mayonase - Do you think this means that the crack, broken gasket has broken at...

Hello, Have checked everywhere and cant find any leaks lol Have checked plugs and cylinders, no coolant. Plugs look ok ish, light brown colour ? Guess i should skim it or get a new head, just hope its not the block lol Mark

Sorry, also - When I check for water in the cylinders, would water have seaped in, engine off - or should I run it first for a small while and then check ? Thankyou

Good idea, thankyou - So whip the plugs out and do you think I will see into the cylinder with a suitable torch ? Thankyou, Mark

Yippee, fixed - was the oil pressure switch !! Yey !!

Thankyou all, I will try to get a picy when its on the ramps in the morning. Really awkward to get to on the floor, no visual access from the top and to low to the ground to stick your head under !!!!! Thanks again, Mark

Happy birthday !! cheers..

Electric fence anyone ? spy.gif

Mine seems to like a drop of oil too !! On the subject, how much do you lot put in after an oil and filter change ? Haynes manual appears to advise more oil than whats needed ? Thankyou, Mark

Thanks for your reply, Would I have someone pump the clutch whilst I slacken the nipple - then get the person to hold the clutch down whilst i tighten the nipple back up ? notsure.gif Also - how many times would you bleed it ? Would putting a litre through it be enough ? :? Thankyou...

Will the stuff maguires make for plastic headlights work ? was looking at it in halfords the other day. Cleans the nasty faded yellow lights you always find on older jap cars haha

Thankyou both for your replies... Would you have to take the battery out to locate the nipple ? Sorry for the questions, how would you actually bleed the clutch ? (Ill make sure I have another person to sit inside the car with the clutch) Thankyou very much for your help !! Mark...
