Is it just me?

Post by Sigmaproject »

Is it just me :$

Or is it dam near impossible to get pepperpots onto the wheel studs with out a lot of swearing and cursing the stupid design that doesnt allow you to see the studs through the holes in the centre :$

Or with a factory turbo exhaust manifold . Putting the dipstick back in it's tube after you check the oil level :$

Dont hold back :think:

Glad it's not only me. :$

Trouble with the dipstick is if you miss the tube and hit something else, you have take the dipstick out of the bay and wipe the end of it, just in case you have picked up a bit of crap . Then go through the whole procedure again :banh: And again :banh: :banh:

yes agree with you on the pepperpots

usually have to sit down and line them up
rather than just slap it back on...

My god that is the worst. I have to check the oil between runs when I was racing the galant. I don't know how many times I've burnt myself, esp when the pyrometer still says 400 degrees!
