Could today get any worse.....

[silverback mike]

Just emptied the whole oil contents of the engine all over the inside of the engine bay / road ........ and yes it was under high pressure making extremely good progress showing a boxster how to do it.

Bastard wedges.....

[silverback mike]

And no, I don't know what it is yet, don't give a flying foxtrot, I'm off for some beer.

Its clearly NOT your day Mike sorry to hear about your latest problem - If its any consolation mine did just that on route to LeMans but was a very easy fix just a split hose hope yours is no more serious than that.
Chin up its always darkest before ....... etc etc.

[mightymouse]

Whoops.
Sorry to hear about this.

You must luuuuuve your wedge a little bit (but not necessarily now).

[silverback mike]

Think it's a pipe, or connector, the one from the oil filter......

And no, I don't love it in the slightest at the moment, I got shown the arse end of a porsche, and a poxy 2.5 boxster as well...

yes it can get worse cars booked in for mot tomorrow a list as long as your arm to do half way in the list
blead brakes started at rear and the blead nipple snapped stipping it down also snapped 2 brake pipes so tonight the car is on axal stands
ive now got to put the rear back and complete the rest of the work before 4.00pm for the mot

Ditto.
From what I saw of your wedge earlier, you have put a tremendous amount of work into her and I hope she passes - good luck with the MOT.

P.S. Its a good job that MOTs don't have a noise / volume criteria because yours would fail

'Oh boyo, stop moaning, I am sitting here looking at my fracking gearbox ..........on the top of my desk! And besides you could have wasted £25K for a chimp or something and the same thing happen - how miffed would you have been then? Or perhaps blown your cash on a Cerbie and then the engine craps out on you prematurely or the bonnet on your new £50k Saggi getting ripped off at anything over 30mph!!!

Do the pipe back up, steam clean the crap off, fill it back with oil and count your lucky stars that you got a Wedge and money left over to buy some beer! ;-)

[silverback mike]

[FHCNICK]

i'm jealous, a split hose!! mine decided it was time for the crank case seal to give up

[badredwedge]

Mike, as my wife would say ' Its a car, just metal and stuff it has no brain its not the Devil reincarnated, it has not done it just to upset you, in fact its your fault for not looking after it' Just the kind of thing you want to hear when your up to your elbows in GTX

My Usual response

BOLLOX

Go on mate you can fix it, and find that Buxter thing another day

See You Saturday

[silverback mike]

Cheers fellas....we'll get there....

[hormone]

Bloody hell guys. After reading this thread i'm positively suicidal. This from a guy that has 2 Wedges & both pack in every time the sun shines!
Always remember...
The pessimist says things can't get any worse.
The optomist says 'Oh yes they can'.
It's just how you look at it.
Fuxxing Wedges,just like women,promise so much pleasure & then they fxxk you in a way you least expected.
