    Default My work for today

    After looking through all the how too's on here I decided to crack on and do some jobs today.
    Cam belt, water pump, aux belt, air box mod and clutch fluid flush, brake fluid flush.

    Couldn't replace my injector seal as I couldn't get the injector out so will need to make a sliding hammer style tool to get it out. Tried to do the gearbox oil but some hooligan has rounded the drain plug off so couldn't do that today. will need to get that off some how.

    Got to use my new bits as well

    All in all a productive day

    Thanks to everyone who has posted how too's and posted on here especially Antsss

    Thanks for the offer mate, much appreciated. another forum member has said that there isn't enough grab on these plugs to get hold of and turn. I think I'm just going to have to get a bigger chisel.

    The gearbox sump plug is an 8mm allen key type. I do definitely need an injector removal tool though
