Default ahhh fudgemonkeys - its starting to happen :(

i think i've caught the bufty bug good and propper.

reason being - while looking for a small teeny oil leak (drip about the size of a 5p piece overnight) which turned out to be a knackered oil pressure switch, i decided to do some more cleaning


i now have an úber clean sump, front diff, gearbox, propshaft, starter motor and cross member


i fooking hate oil and dirt on anything now, but i still REFUSE to do shiney

Not good when you have a drive with a gradient like yours!

Remember when I was worried about driving the Escort down it cause I thought it was too narrow?
