finally some great news after all the bad luck !!

by BazV6er » Wed Aug 25, 2010 10:09 pm

the car passed with flying colours today with a few advisories:

slight misting of oil on shock absorbers on both rear (this i sort of had a clue due to last year not being able to replace
all shock inserts to add with springs.

and two suspension bushes on the wishbones (again i knew about these just recently)

i found i also had a inner boot gaiter on the driveshaft had grease /oil around it but they told me today that thats not even in the mot only the CV boots.

and its great to see that no oil has leaked or leaking on the cam cover gaskets and the redo of the oil cooler due to my late brother in law (one of my greatest buddies in this life) who spent time with us and sorted the engine bay but recently took his own life just after so atm my car has a few memories under the bonnet.

Im gonna get a meet setup as weve missed a few but with all the family tragedys and the car off the road and i will settle up with the guys. also thanks to v6steve who supplied the cooler with the guys who kindly helped in the cold weather to get the rolling road event.

ive still got a few oil cleanup underneath the car so im sure i will be using pressure washers/rags but thanks everyone
