under 2 hours today to solve the oil leak, thank god it wasnt the crank seal it was the grub screws id put into the holes i had drilled to tap the idler bearing out sooo my jb weld was dryed up :'( loctite instant gasket *tongue*
tomorrows jobs involve moving the brake lines from above the radius arm to the underside as they hit the boot floor when lowering it and the last thing i need is for a bump to crush the brake lines whilst i drive :/

argh, there is always bloody something, my brake kit did not include the larger bolts for attaching the callipers so i phoned minisport to buy a fitting kit or whatever is required, but the bloke just said that they would look at why i dont have them and send another set out if need be...
i asked if i can just buy a set so i know there on the way but 'there looking into it'
i suppose i cant grumble if i get them for free but.. i dont even know why im pissed off.. i like yes/no's not ill have a look grr :(

on the plus side i have back pay to come from work so that will cover a new MS ecu as i broke the last...

i could but it would twist the intercooler flat and when you see my custom bonnet you will know why its at that angle *wink*
also all my cooling pipes are used metro or mini pipes so ideally they will be changed for good silicone asap i dont want the problem what Nick had at the weekend
