    Hi Stuart, Do you do alot of short runs in the car? I know this is a cause of the mayonaise type stuff under oil filler caps. Usually happens in old timers cars. Might be the cause of that. It is an oil catch tank tho so i'd imagine you're supposed to get some oil in there. Are you losing coolant ? Cheers Jason

    Could be an air lock in the cooling system - i had the same problem . Cheers

    Have you checked the earth cable to the gear box ? Make sure your getting a good earth. I'd then check starter connections - are you getting voltage to the solenoid ?when you turn the key . Just some ideas . Hope you get it sorted Cheers Jason

    Fixed the second coolant leak . Was very happy so went for a spin. Just as i pulled into the drive Big clunk then no more drive to wheels. I' ve snapped a cv joint . I thought you would still get drive to the other wheel ? I can select any gear and all that happens when i accelerate is the speedo goes up. Is this normal or have i knackered the gear box as well ? Cheers Jason

    I've had one of those days . Work was cr@p . Just finished replacing my engine so took it for a test drive . Firstly when pulling away in first the car groans for a second then its ok . I think its the clutch only does it in first . Any ideas ? Secondly burst a coolant hose ! the second one of the engine swap ! My question is do your coolant hoses go taught as if under pressure once they reach full temp ? Also what temp does your engine sit at ? Mine was about 90 degrees ? Im worried ive air locked the system as the heater matrix pipes go almost solid when hot . Although i do get hot air fr

    Strictly dubs do a metal replacement . It's about £52 but still cheaper than 70 odd for the complete pipe . Cheers
