Oil light came on again apparently.

FML.

Will have to take it to work/college and pressure test it. Hoping it's the switch tbh.

Also just been given a T4 Transporter hightop with a messed up head and possible headgasket.  :cool:


How are you going to pressure test it at college?

Surely college has an oil pressure gauge?

Im positive they do also, but I was under the impression that you were not a motor vehicle student?

So decided "screw it, I have two spare bumpers". What's the worse that could happen?

Always liked the idea of smothing bits off the front bumper. Couldn't decide on what to do, like the number plate delete but CBA with the Police and moved numberplates so decided to do the number plate and indicators and fogs. I'll just stick the number plate back on with magnets. This probably sounds contradicting but it makes sense in my head.  :grin:



JIGSAAAWWWW!










So to put it together, I've decided on plastic welding with just a hot screwdriver ATM, put it in deep (what she said) and twist then go along.

Then Altarite it with their two part epoxy. I tried on scrap and if you bend the piece, it bent BESIDE the join, not on it.  :shocked: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

So it's nice and strong. Didn't get far, ran out of gas. Gonna get a soldering iron and carry on tomorrow.

Also started stripping the brakes off the Golf I'm scrapping so that I can quickly tidy them up and whack them on.  :smiley:

Looks good so far man, especially since you kept the indented line around the top of the bumper. Looking forward to seeing the finished product  :cool:
