today(ish), I decided to drop the lower sump, and do other jobs
jacked up the front up , removed wheels then removed my broken inner wheel arches (there broken where it joins to the undertray) removed my front bumper as it wasn't put on right last time I re fitted it , then realised I'm missing 4 cage nuts (ordered them) £2.00 each !!!!!!
removed rad cover and fan , removed all belts, to find a squeak , no pulleys bad, did find some rust on the AC pulley though (in between the grooves) and some on the belt too, ?. wonder if that happened when I parked car up for 2 weeks while I went on holiday?
removed the metal undertray easy job. drained oil then undid the sump, going quite well , spilled oil all over the drive, by knocking the oil catch bowl,
noticed a fair bit of sludge in the sump, found a bit of plastic in there , looks like a piece of the plastic clip that's on the 2 rectangle plastic boxes for the wiring for the coil packs,
no , timing guides
trip to stealers for parts, oh knocked the bumper which broke the T piece for the headlight washers
new bits ordered, and a quote of 68 for the plate bolts, I don't think so
hopefully rebuilding tomorrow
weather permitting
I did take pics, but there on my phone with the car
