Yep! Was sent the correct dipstick (i hope) but they knackered the tube so didn't send it. Was told to cut mine down to 230 mil which i did but the dipstick won't bend round the curves in the old tube so it's no good. Gary GSX has got one and is going to bring it round. What a star!! Saved me throwing the pinto out in the road!

Why can't i just have an engine that is complete with the right working parts? .......I'm a little peed off at the mo but will calm down after a cuppa.

I guess that's the problem If your sold an engine that's been rebuilt, but not sold as a working unit, parts can get missed out VERY easily if it's not all kept together

Yeah, i sometimes wish i had gotten hold of a decent sierra (if there is such a thing!! )

Oh well

Hmmm, my tube's got a bit loose (oooh sir! ). How hard is it to replace them?

I assumed they were pressed or braised in place. Is this not the case?

Cheers,
James

I know a dipstick with a Pinto!!!



ONLY JOKING!! Nr Nut,

When you build MK 3 it would probably be best to source you're own donor parts, then you can keep loads of nuts & bolts and odds an sods, could save a load P*** b***ing about in the long run...........

When is the SVA?


donut - 14/2/06 at 04:10 PM

Numer 3!!!! nooooooooooooooooooooo

Dunno when SVA will be as i have not had the car inspected yet plus i'm still waiting on my exhaust which is still on another car waiting for it's SVA at MK's so i can't run my engine till i get it. Could be another couple weeks before i get it

But were getting there!!
