on the label reads 10 w 40 semi synthetic motor oil , does that sound like cookikng oil to you, do you cook food in motor oil ?? you daft cunt
I went up there today (got bus) spent hours but got ti home no problem ! had to buy more clips at B&Q as ones I had kept spinning and not getting tighter.
drove it home, drives absolutely fine, no strange noises, no burning smell, nothing wrong at all ! In under 2 years the oil light has come on about 5 timers mainly different problems regarding this pipe, but every single time I have noticed right away and switched the engine off immediately like a second or 2 later and has been perfectly fine !! I'm lucky that I have noticed right away but not so that the light came on. same with water pipes, had about 10 times in almost 2 years leak/burst and caught all before disaster.
why change oil ? was low and I kept topping up with new oil while trying to fix it so all old oil will be out the system.
why should I not work on my own car ? Over the past 6 months my car has required basically a full suspension rebuild and brakes, glow plugs, radiator, e.t.c. and I have done all those repairs myself, no problems with any of the repairs I've carried out, no unusual noises, passed it's MOT e.t.c.
I have no training or qualifications in this industry of car mechanics, but I have self taught and learnt a lot and a lot of what is involved is common sense, I will certainly not quit doing repairs on my car, I'd rather not have to repair anything on it but if needs be I am more than willing to fix the car myself and capable of doing so.
btw, here is a short video of the bolt in question and why it took so long to do it.

yes, I went up there today on the bus, spent hours but finally did it, the clips were the type that require flat screwdriver, while tightening they were turning and before many of them even got tight they stripped the thread and just kept spinning, ended up going into B & Q and buying more, they cost a lot but were much better, drove car home 10 - 15 miles or so, drove absolutely fine, no unusual noises, no unusual smells of burning or anything, I will get the pipe replaced.
