Title: power hood oil
Post by: weedwhacker on 23 January 2006, 18:05

anyone know and easy way of topping up the oil in a mk1 cab powerhood thingy

it seems to be a allen key affair but its not a 5 or a 4 mm key
do the stealers have a proper tool for this or could it be an old imperial size alln key that does it.
hood all works just realy slow cause i load of oil has leaked out through a leaky joint.


pukka stuff

getting there slowly

well yeah i thought that but the size of the hex key is a bit wierd.
let me get this right the top up thing is on the top of the pump yeah, looks like a small hex bolt.
if thats it its a bloody starnge size cause a 4mil is too small and a 5 mil is too big
so it if there is such a thing a 4.5mil
unless this isnt the correct thing im looking at
