Wheres the fuel tank one ? please

erm oil from wading plug hole isnt normal. That will be from off roading without wading plug in and mud getting up in the hole and wearing the oil seel out. I had this happen to me and ended up spraying people behind me with oil. Lesson learnt big time when I towed my caravan and oil all over the caravan. Not fun to clean off. :roll:
the parts for the oil seels is about £10 but you have to strip the engine back to the cam belt to change them. May as well change the belt whilst your there! I paid a mechanic to do mine. £200 bill. another lesson learnt!
Also about water over bonnet. Had that a few times, once the water was half way up windscreen and yes, got a wet dash. Water flowed out the air vents on the dash and onto me! Oops. Lesson learnt but did it again at sodbury last year!
My breahtes all go into a manifold on the bulk head then 1 pipe up side of snorkel in under the snorkel top and into the snorkel top by the grill. If water gets in them then yes, I will have a wet dash and need a scuba diving kit!! :lol:

if u get under the back drivers side it attached to the topside of the filler hose, via a zip tie i think, its a bigger diameter than the rest aswell mate ;)
i dont wanna go too deep otherwise il have to wear a snorkle myself :lol: , i was gonna do the cam belt in the next few weeks, its not dripping bad but its enough to be concerned, is i hard to change that oil seal?

If the oil drips out bad enough (like it did on mine) you will find you save yourself a job in the long run....................
Coating the chassis with oil all over! My chassis is coated with a nice film all over it. Just kep topping the oil up!! I would loose about 2 cups full in about 100miles if I remember rightly. I used to put the wading plug in then drain it once a week when I got complaints about oil on the car park :roll: :-k

Got the same on mine, the manifold is a great idea and its neat and tidy got 5 inlets so might plumb up the inj pump now I know about it :dance:
Got water through the vents at Billing but the mud clogged up the blower motor, stripped and cleaned it 4 times now but think it is finally ok.
