What have you broken ?

[WokingWedger]

Chatting to Peter(phazed)the other day, we were comparing tales of woe, and that got me thinking about a 'what have you broken thread' with pictures.

Could be interesting (or maybe not).

So for starters :_

Who knows what this is ?

Excellent topic for a thread.
Those moments of outright pain and anger, turned into humour.
That's not a shell bearing is it it might want replacing whatever it is

Put the pink stuff in my S when I had it....new one of these required.

Not sure if this was meant as a guessing game thread...but I'm running with it.

Not familiar with an S , but something water pump related ?

(a guess due to the belt in the picture)

Yup good shout....pretty much shot every seal....not the only thing I had to change after putting in OAT....big mistake.

OAT based coolant wont make your WP fail that looked like an original cast iron Ford water pump where the gland seal has just reached the end of its useful like, too many horror stories concerning OAT based coolants IMO

And another!

Maybe I should have been clearer. On mine it was unquestionably OAT that finished the seals off within hours, the pump was questionable. I decided to change it for new once removed as it was cheap and a no brainer.

Your probably right about the horror stories but this stuff exposes old gaskets and weak spots, it went from no leaks to several very quickly.

Bits of pistons?

Widening or flaring wheel arches ?

Get in there
Is that oil starvation or serious over revving that's caused that, over heating oil maybe ?

[ClassiChimi]

Not on a Tvr but I put a nice new set of pads in once, the wrong way around, metal on metal,
I bought new discs and pads as a consequence
It was a bit noisy and I thought it would settle down
Sadly no pictures of a worn brake pad plate
