Well That Answers The Oil Leak Question.

The picture says it all. Who the hell fits a gasket that's an inch too small. Maybe it shrunk?

No, no, don't tell me. TADTS

Well if you thought you had a RV6 engine that could be where your problem lies...

That is it truely quite amazing !!

[Flintstone]

Isn't it?

Love to know who thought fitting that was a good idea. I'm amazed it wasn't pissing oil instead of the slight weep I had. Probably the same person who bodged the 100amp fuse holder with mastic

Anyway, all done now with a proper rubber one. That fits.

CHUFF ME!!! Amazed you didn't have an oil fire when you braked and the oil surged forward (I presume that's the oil filler we can see there), A disloged valley gasket seal was enough to make it look as if something terminal had let go under braking, and that was a minute gap compared to that!

What is more of a worry is what this same person as done elsewhere on this carby this i mean the person who fitted the gasket not you Flintstone

Errr, I think I got that.

Yup, fine tooth comb deployed. All seems ok.

Having now looked at that photo for about the sixth time I have even less to say...........I mean, why would.........didn't they see..........how could they not........

[Flintstone]

It just gets better. I'm beginning to think that maybe my car has the ability to shrink gaskets.

My exhaust gasket(s) were chuffing a bit so I handed the car over to Matt at Sebring in Wisbech. When we spoke on the phone to arrange collecting it he said "Bring your camera". 'Someone' had fitted standard Range Rover gaskets instead of the correct ones. In the photo the old one is underneath the new.

Looks near enough to me. "Yeah, use those ones mate. Nobody will ever know." I tell you, some f*%#ing people shouldn't be allowed near a car.

Have you got bills for previous work? That should shed some light on who the cowboys are!

If you find out PM me please, I'd like to know who has the "that will do" attitude!

Hope you don't have any other supprises.

Sadly the car came with not a lot of paperwork (save the planet!!). I shall be hunting through that I do have though.

PS Dunnarf run lovely now though. Thanks Matt
