Sump plug
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

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

opposite tesco warehouse. They are open till 6 in the week.

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

Alot more power??? I thought it had over 200BHP before!! lol
Yes my dad does still have the capri. why are youn interested in it. He cannot decide what to do with it. If he were to get rid of it he wouldwant it
to goto a good home i think (which im sure yours is. lol)
I thought cal had moved to bosworth? What are you both upto these days.
My Email is Rupertkenefeck@hotmail.com is you would rather chat on there than on these random post.
Hope to see you soon (but i am in nottingham at the mo)
Rupert
