Ghetto is cable ties and shoe goo. Good point! Was actually split more than I thought, so it's stitched up like a drift pig now. Oil and filter changed, coolant leak fixed, splash shield repaired, oil temp sensor installed and sending to gauge ok. But sadly couldn't get to the oil feed with the tools at hand. Going to need either a stubby spanner or a deep socket I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgy bastards... I've thought about doing something similar to the above to my stone tray. But then I CBF and go back inside. Stone tray is staying off. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if it's a dodgy repair symptom from that prang in 2008. Stone tray off and no problems up to 230! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the go is, never bothered to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
