This then drips down and part of it go`s onto the exhaust manifold which cause`s quite a smell! Some also go`s onto my drive which I`m now starting to get some ear ache about. I`ve not lost any power or water and the oil seems to be the right colour as well. The temperature gauge is good also, but the oil light stays on a bit longer when starting up but no noise`s are to be heard. It`s a 316 m10 1986 69000 Help please guy`s!! Mart.

He ordered one and I picked it up ( 5 mins!) and he fitted it (5 mins!) �10 :LOL: :LOL: And to be really cheeky as well, I said "can I see you right tomorrow?" He is a very good bloke who`s not out to rob people. Solo`s Auto`s in Morley if your passing and need help. Mart.
