As some of you may know,
It hasnt moved in a few weeks as its been pissing oil
A quick trip to see the very kind and helpfull Mattb with the use of his nice ramp, he found one of my pipes that goes into back of my engine (dont fuckin ask me which one ) was VERY loose. So oil was just pissing out. He tightened it all up and also fixed me boogered powersteering.
So after today i now have no oil leak (touch wood) and PAS again
BIG thank you to matt and his mate (didnt catch ya name bud!) And a big thank u to myke who chapperoned my poorly car there
Now for the bad bit. My car smoked like a bitch today, and wasnt boosting properly. Oh fuck.

Maybe so col, but i hate the 5 doors
Marcs newer shape one is nice but again id have to spend shit loads on it to get it how i want. Plus servicing and insurance etc will be a nightmare. Bearing in mind mine is still very cheap to repair!
