As for undoing - just go carefully, make sure the spanner/socket has a firm grip and try to use a sharp cracking motion rather than lots and lots of leverage.
Good luck
Just found that the oil leak i have been looking for for a few weeks now is comming from the sump plug!!
Reading some old posts i see that there is supposed to be a plastic sealing washer in there somewhere which i don't think mine has. I cannot see
it and don't remeber putting one on. Is it obvious??
Pinto BTW
Bit worried now about getting the thing out as it is half ground down by speeb bumps and there are many posts regarding how hard it is to get out at
the best of times
Thanks for the help
Rupert
just reging to post...
I have a copper washer on mine (Zetec) - I would imagine a washer is needed.
As for undoing - just go carefully, make sure the spanner/socket has a firm grip and try to use a sharp cracking motion rather than lots and lots of
leverage.
Good luck
Thanks!! Also where is the best place to get oil from IYHO?
Thanks chaps
Rupert
Crikey is that Rupert Kennefec (apologies for the awful spelling of your name!!!)
It's Callum's brother Nat from Barwell here!!!
Hows your Tiger going these days, still building my 7!!!
PS for you your best local supply of pretty much everything service stuff-wise is CAS (Central Auto Supplies) on the perimeter road in Hinckley,
opposite tesco warehouse. They are open till 6 in the week.
ps ps has your dad still got the 2.8i capri?
I also share NAT's sentiments...
Our local CAS is excellent 
Well i never! Lol yes it is that Rupert Kenefeck!!
Hows the old suart tylor coming on??
The tiger is good thanks. Just a week bit of an oil leak but other than that is running well!
Are you still living in the same place?
Rupert
Yep, still in the same spot, Cal's still here too so pop round sometime!
The stuart taylor has developed a bit, good old project scope creep has crept in and it now has lots more power than intended and lots of carbon
fibrey bits and stuff!!
Just need to get the damn thing finished but other things keep stopping progress!!
cheers
