Starters college is really winding me up and I'm at wits end and almost going to withdraw.
And then theres the car, this week it threw a wobbly. Map Sensor.
So after I removed the AUX belt and altenator I rounded off one of the Torque screws.
So off comes the inlet manifold. Change the sensor and the car is fine again.
Now my Dad has a thing about oil on the drive, nothing serious I just put sand down before I work on the car and just wash it off afterwards.
So today I thought I'd do my rear brakes, stick my car on the top of the drive and went in to get the brake shoes (left the engine running, always give it run down time).
Just about to reach the front door and though, nah forget it. I'l do it again, no rush. Go upstairs and put the shoes back and walk outside to stick the car down the bottom of the drive.
So I thought "Hmm car round a little tappety" but didn't think much of it. Stuck the car down the bottom of the drive looked at the dashboard and the coolant needles in the red and the oil pressure warning light is on?
Shut it off, got out and noticed there was oily tyre marks down the drive, look at the top of the drive and theres a huge fecking puddle of oil
Run down to the car, chucked a tray underneath it, had a look and it was pissing out between the sump gasket.
Undid the sumkp plug and let all the oil drain out...
Then que 3 hours trying to get the big puddle of oil off the tarmac!
Got a new sump gasket and fitted it. All that was there in the first place was some instant gasket
Ahh well. No more leaks.
But I am sick of everything right now.
