Got up this morning to a dribble of oil on the drive, so had a grope around underneath to find a bit of oil sprayed around. Checked the level and pressure and drove the 2 miles to Solo.

Even before he'd made the tea, Gaz had it up on the ramps for a closer look.

It appears that the rubber stop thingy which stops it rattling around has gone AWOL at some point and something sharp has managed to put a small hole in the cooler.

Booked in for an MOT tomorrow as well, I get the feeling this is going to be an expensive weekend, but touch wood, no serious harm done, apart from to my wallet.

Hopefully it's a lucky escape.

Still, I have got a delightful(?) 146 to run around in for the rest of the week....

All the oil was still where it should be this morning, thanks for the quick turn around!

146 has a funny rattle noise over about 70 though. You'd be amazed how much crap you can get in the back with the seats down!!
