cleaned the oil cap up and ran it the past couple of days and all seems ok, i was told that the discoloured oil on the cap is prob condensation which is normal if you do alot of short journeys, i'v managed to temporarely fix the seal on the expansion tank until my new one arrives in the next couple of days im not loosing water so much now
glad you got it sorted mate! Panic over!!!!

yeah i think so, i'l jus keep an eye on it for a week or two, keep checking the oil and stuff make sure the oil stays un contaminated, idle seems to hav returned to normal, it prob is partly a case of me panicing a bit too flapping doing my orvil impression! ( flapflap i wish i could fly but i cant flapflap)

started my own refurb on my wheels, decided im having them painted not polished and selected gun matal grey for the colour. thought that as the car was white they it needed a darker coloured wheel but not black or too dark and with the gun metal grey it has a slight two tone in it so will change its silver shade at different angles
got 3 wheels stript today one left to do, one of the wheels is goin to my m8's paint shop tomoro, will hav to get them done one at a time as i only hav the space saver spare wheel to put the car on until the wheel comes back
i'v done the stripping and he will do the wet flatting and prepping for painting

the guy thats doin em for said he can take them off but as im having to drop them off one by one to have them done one at a time and use the space saver spare while he has it i said if its guna make life easier and get the job done quicker then dont bother, he said he'l let the tyres down anyway so he will still be able to paint the rim lip so i said do it that way, the wheels are never guna be perfect they need alot of work to get them perfect i said i'd be happy if they just look clean and fresher, the guys doin it as a favour for ?10 a wheel and i pay for the paint so that im more than happy with that, he started work on the one i dropped off this eve straight away, i was watchin him make the curb marks disapear awsome they wil look nice certainly better than they did

just an update, 1st wheels been sprayed, reacted slightly with the lacqer so he took it back with wet flat and his decided his guna strip it and start again rather than waist the time and paint trying to salvage it, i'v got it on the car at the min temporary, will hav to drop it off on wed as needed it 2moro night to go to ace cafe, must say tho i think the colour goes well with the white of the car and by putiing it on it has given me an opertunity to see wot it would look like using that colour and im pleased with it so will stick with that colour 8)

really cracked on withthem today and we had enough time to lacquer them tonight aswell so was a good productive day
1st coat of gun metal applied…….
2nd coat of gun metal applied……
lacquer applied…..
i'm really chuffed with how they've turned out, they are not perfect but a good job done 8O , they were never guna be perfect with the damage that two of them had sustained from curbing but i am more than happy with the finish and didnt expect to get the amount of curb marks out that we did, these wheels are a far cry from wot they were and im impressed with them, just have the other two to do now, the one that reacted the 1st wheel we painted is one of them so i will be hard at it tomoro stripping that back again but the other ones already stripped and ready to go under the can

3rd wheel in the process of being painted today so thats good geting closer to completion, just final wheel will take a bit more time as it has to be stripped again but being fresh paint and stript of allold paint prior to refurb the new paint should strip off relitively easy
