Thank youOriginally Posted by RobJenko
Well everything is fitted bar the front brake pads
well being as i was so bored with all the family coming over i set to task on finding the reason for the constant metal rubbing noise.
So parked the car outside the garage with it running looked down towards the bottom pully and notices the silver of the bolts showing. So off came the wheel and well all but one bolt was almost out. Got out the tools and some super strong lock nut stuff and cleaned them and refitted them
well i was just under the car as i could smell oil burning on the exhurst found a nice oil leak. The sump gaskit has given up wtf its new. ok so umm now what is there a better one than the standard cork one ???
they seem ok first thing i checked mind wouldn't surprise me if it was them lmao i did them up abit more.
Got an oil leak now thoshould of got the better gaskit in the first place the bonded one lmao never mind its all fun haha just keep the oil topped up i will be fine till the new one come's haha
adam sorry forgot to text back this morning, its the 8v bondeed one you need but looks like youve got it sorted now, im not gonna be able to make andys tommorrow didnt give a reply till now as i was unsure if i could make it but ive got other stuff on.
that is just annoying how dare you not got lmao no probs mate
I checked in jamie's corsa thread for the info but he used a red gaskit stuff and blue let the red dry first ??
woohoooo ok I found out what the annoying rattle was the auto thingy on the cambelt wasn't sat in its right how
Unsure if its the sump gaskit or the cooler pipes. So to be on the safe side for now once i have fitted the new sump gaskit, I will remove the oil cooler and other bits for it to see if its that also
Well after helping Andy with the cambelt on his Cav. He showed me somthing in the haynes manual about setting up the gear selector so today i had a read of mine and set about doing it all done and sorted just need to sort the oil leak out now had some parts come today photos coming soon
One bonded sump gaskit
One need set of sump bolts
And well i was buying stuff i wanted to try a different person for mixed paint
Have got other item's just aint going out in the cold to take photo's lol

Well started on the sump today. Front bumper off up on the ramps
Plans for tomorrow are:
Refit the sump
Refit the exhaust
Replace the front brake pads
Change the heater matrix with the new one i have
Possible swop of seats unsure on this yet tho.
All help welcome if anyone wants to pop over and fit the last two ???
may well be up for popping down chap to help out, ive changed the last two many a time so can assist with that no prob's.
Right sump all fitted and doesn't look like any leaks. well fitted the exhaust back together ANDY and ROB turned up
So a big thanx to Andy and Rob for turning up and lending a hand
no prob's fella, its getting there now.
Yep slowly think any was over the moon once you sorted them clocks out for him lmao
he was until he got round the corner and the speedo stopped working and the ml came on! so we went straight back to mine, got the dash open and i put the speedo cable on better which then stopped the eml coming on then he was happy happy happy!
I was happy happy happy, even happier today as it all still works and my outside temp reader is within about 10 degrees. Will get a new one soon.
Rob was slightly impressed as to how quickly I got all the bits back off when we got back to his I think, must have been the magic screw driver.
Adam, hopefully you will have hot air now
*Pending Approval*

Well spent yesterday and today pissing about with the car slowly doing my ****ing head in. Put everything back after fitting the heater matrix need to get a new black plastic bottom part lol its fooked. got the GSI seats in feel alot better than my old warn ones. Also fitted a different speedo cable.
Now i think i will need to get a few lenths of water hose and swop two of the pipes about so water goes in and out of the heater matrix no photo's cam broke and my phone died lol.
Also got the car back on the ramps as there was still an oil leak hmm after doing the sump last weekend i remember every sump bolt was dogged right up yet some on the one end are loose lol so did them up again everything seems fine went down the road for a spin and the old lady next door phone the police as she thought i didnt have tax or insurance lmao stupid bint lol
