well thats done it
« on: 01 December 2012, 15:03 »
right, have to do a 200 miles journey tonight and noticed my catch can is half full SOOOOOO i decided to do a cheeky empty before i set off and whilst theres day light...got the can out, started undoing the drain screw as i walked over to oil wastage but the poxy screw has a short thread...and the drain plug dropped off, and hit my boot as i was taking my next step...and it get punted into the drain in the corner of my garage...johnny wilkinson would of been proud  :angry:

have had to plug the hole with some clay and hope for the best now, thankfully ive got some gauz in the can so i wont have to worry about bits and pieces crumbling into my engine  :angry: need a new can now  :cry:
