got the cos running again today but big leak from underneath , she on stands at the rear now so cant see where its coming from, so happy she fired up first turn of the key, everything primed first though and running sweet as

 

well done mate....im sure the leaks nothing major ....ive got a leak on mine at the mo which needs sorting too.

 

yeh i only hope its not the sump gasket, just got the reason why the turbo went in the first place, no way ilost so much oil over 350 miles but now i know why

 

im not sure where mine is coming from yet....i had a clip missing off the oil return pipe for the turbo but this hasnt completely cured it......i think its coming out of the breather pipe where it goes into the block.....just a new o-ring i hope.

 

hope its not too bad mate i will let ya know how i get on, you dont know anyone who refurbs wheels mate do ya, had some geezer in yately but he untouchable at the mo and thats what i waiting on

 

Good news mate

 

cheers muzz will let yous know when she fully done not that you will be able to miss it i got big plans and lots of money

 

best place i know for refurbs is spit and polish in east peckham,tonbridge and i know they drive to a lot of places to pick up and deliver wheels but not sure if they will come out as far as aldershot

 

ok mate you been to surrey meet lately i not been since mid last year i hear dave is secratary again

 

ive only had my cossie a couple of months so am quite new to the scene but i would like to go to the surrey meet this year.....where is it held....is it dorking??

 

yes mate doring rugby club it,s ok to get too and not a bad meet but i found them to be ok, but not very inviting to newcomers just let you get on with it left early a lot of times as was sat on my own a bit clicky mate, but thats just my point of view

 

if i go next time i know which car to approach then......i guess all the others know each other quite well so thats why you felt a little left out.

 

i knew a few from other shows but still felt a little in the dark for ages, i am in the army and always welcome the new boys so its maybe just me but i did not like being left to try and make friends when you should be welcomed in to meet people mate

 

i know what you mean matey......i thought that was the idea of these meets, to share your enthusiasm for your car with other ppl.

 

 

so happy that it is just running sweet

 

as it changed its image yet, wink wink
good to hear it running tho

 

Nice one mate i hope you didn't leave the crankshaft rear oil seal out lo
Will be starting mine tomorrow for the 1st time as i have just re-built it

 

good luck to you spadge, i not gone that far with mine i been so busy at work all i needed to do was change the turbo

i am such a lazy git but been away on course since crimbo so not really had time

for basky it is in the proccess mate keeping it under my hat and waiting for the call to say its ready
