Just a little progress

Work has been slow, interrupted by a trip to watch Arsenal - ManU for both Tim and Chris, followed by some pesky interruptions of binomial theorem homework (Chrissy...well until she got stuck and asked Tim to help....a bit like asking Fred Elliot to help with some intricate brain surgery...Pascal's Triangle; I say; Pascal's Triangle )...but several phone calls with Westfield have allowed us to find and fit the locknuts on the propshaft to gearbox studs ...see below


We have to confess that we also found the four propshaft bolts for the other end of the propshaft that Tim drove all the way to Kingswinford for last week (doh!)...but, we guess like most people, we have found identifying the many parts is a very difficult task and Westfield could help by kitting it up more clearly (well that's our excuse anyway). There is obviously a right and wrong way to put the nut on, but Mark pointed out to us that actually it will only go on one way (double doh!). We have also fitted the feed and return connectors into the fuel tank with PTFE tape (a bit difficult, but if you (a) wind in the direction of the thread (b) don't put tape over the first thread then it's easy.

Wit Mark's help we have worked out where the engine oil pressure sensor/sender goes, see below....


Unfortunately we haven't fitted it yet, as we haven't yet found the right size Torx tool to extract the blanking stud that currently sits in that location- we have now got Torx tools for 55,50, and 45 but none of those fit and you can't just take the engine down to Halfords to try it out.

Total Man/Woman work this week so far - 2 hours.
