Does this count as my first LZIR?? :D

Shopping delivered and now back home! The show itself was slightly underwhelming but it looks as though the LZ rabble are having a good time and it was good to meet the few people who were around when I got there!

Just heading into Morrisons (1hr away from the show). Last chance for shopping orders!

Late start for me. Just about to head down. Before I leave, are y'all missing anything or need me to bring anything?

70mph in a 300tdi 90?! :eek: How long do you think it would take you to stop if you did hit 70mph? Not something I'd like to try. 55 - 60 is plenty for mine!

I reckon LZ courier service could shift the entire bakery if requested!

Haha! I don't think a discount on cakes would end well for me! :D I could go to Greggs if you would prefer cheap cakes...? :rolleyes:

Morning all! I'm probably going to head down for the day on Saturday and happen to be heading into London tomorrow, so.... Any special requests? https://hummingbirdbakery.com/order/

Agreed. For all of the p!ss taking and banter, there are an amazing bunch of people here! My shock bushes are ok because I replaced them a few months ago, but thanks for the offer! :D

I like this garage. They have always been very honest with me, I get a discount on labour and it's walking distance from my office. The closest alternatives are around 20 mins away, which is not practical. But point taken on pulling myself together.... :rolleyes:

Used them for pretty much everything on my rebuild. They offer trade membership for £25, which then entitles you to a 5% discount on all orders. Saved me a small fortune, so definitely worth considering if you're planning to order a lot of parts from them.

:hysterically_laughi Aww go on, make me a roll cage! I know someone who will make me one out of scaffolding poles, and he said he can do it all for £10, so please can you do it for cheaper than that? ;)

This is definitely starting to sound like the problem and would explain why SO much oil is pouring out. I will relay this to the garage, but I guess it's a gearbox out job anyway...

Bloody hell, they are cheap, thanks! Considering the small fortune that has gone into the engine, this not sounding all that bad!

That would actually make a lot of sense, because the T seals look ok to me and I made a real effort to check and double check them. I had assumed that the oil seal would cause a leak into the bell housing, but it seems to be more likely than T seals. Well I'm definitely not dropping the...

Right, ok, deep breath... I think I'm going to sleep on it and assess my options in the morning. At the moment I'm leaning towards getting the garage to do only what is necessary for the MOT and then slowly doing the rest myself, but after a busy day at work, my brain isn't engaged enough...

Just a thought. Does the gearbox, flywheel etc HAVE to come out before the T Seals can be replaced? I can't for the life of me remember if anything bolts into the main bearing end cap...?

:eek: don't say that! :eek:

Yes. I even spent a bit more for one from Turners, so I'm hopeful that that's ok!

Bell housing oil leak is definitely a failure, because of the seriousness of the leak. So: T Seals Clutch Master Cylinder (again!) Brake line Suspension bushes Doesn't seem so bad when it's listed like that.
