      Secondly, these photos have been in there days....how did I miss them? Looks smart. Love the lizard decorations. One thing being stuck out here is you do miss a good shed. Might have to buy one.

      Anyway, as I'm reading this look what's turned up for Molly.

        • It's called Harry the Hamster (loosely translated) because the little one says it is....who am I to argue?
          Call it what you want, they keep the bugs of my plants and that makes them very welcome .

            • Him and all his mates. Two live in the ducting for the extractor over the hob. This annoys Mrs FA a lot. Can hear them move at night

                    • Working thro our oils leak's top to bottom. Its mostly coming from the rocker cover I think. Dry behind cam belt so the cam/oil pump drive pulley seal can go into stock. Will change oil cooler too. Got inlet manifold off just for the sake of it. But no gasket between inlet manifold and EGR elbow so here's a quick how to make one if you find yourself miles from a factors and need a gasket. All you need is a ballpein hammer some gasket paper in this case Aldi morning oats box. Click image for larger version

ID:	263975 Hold down gasket paper on the part you want a gasket for tap round the edges with the ball end of your hammer nice and gently being careful not to move the paper. I always find that the hardest part. With a bit of practice you can make quite a complicated gasket if required. No good on exhausts or headgaskets but ok for coolant or oil gaskets or in this case air intake with egr blanked. There's a few motors kicking about with "S49 get you home" water pump gaskets.

                      • Good old fashioned mechanic tech there, I have had better results with home made gaskets than with some supplied kits over the years!

                        • Dying art I suspect , lots of sumps just have a "gasket" out of a power can these days, but sometimes you cant do without one.

                            It is, as is "fixing" parts rather than replacing them!
