Good luck !
I was looking for the oil pressure switch, when clutching at straws wondering where the leakage was from, but its sorted now - a the large O ring for the oil filter cap was displaced.

It managed to blow a pint and a half of oil out - just down to minimum on the dip stick, before I had it sorted, luckily I wasn't doing longer trips in the car.

My reversing light switch is playing up now - I fixed it a few years ago by skimming the hex down so it went a bit deeper into the gearbox. I have ordered a new one this time.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
