BROKE DOWN!.....AGAIN! ahhhhhhhh

[cwspellowe]

It's cool man, think Birk has sorted me a 90A replacement, but cheers anyways.

And you're not ill. You're a coward. Grab that virus by the scruff of it's neck and triumphantly delcare.. "not today."

[Piggy]

or just sit here in the warm and sip my lemsip while I order replacement bits online. "I'm ded sank"

[Scott]

you've just got to chin up and get on with it...

This

Keep it up mate, it's not a huge problem, just get it done and take a proper look over the rest of the pipework and make sure everything else is done up nice and securely. It'll be worth it when it's done!

Annoyingly this is exactly what I did monday.

I replaced the knackered rad with a nissens one, and tightened up some loose connections, couple little oil leaks, and checked all connections as a matter of good practice.

then this happens....I am trying to do all things well and right and it peeves me that if I had done it Dumdum style I expect I would have trouble free motorin!

[Toms306]

Bad luck Piggy.... It's sods law though, I check and re-check things on the cars several times and they still fail.....yet other people bodge things together and have no issues!

Interesting that the connection failed then given that you checked it a number of times

[Piggy]

In fact I thought it was loose...which made me redo it...and then check the others. should have left it alone!

[Scott]

If you'd left it then it could have happened at an even more inconvenient time though mate, don't beat yourself up about it.

I might well get shot down about this although I can't recall seeing any reasons why not to do this, but have you considered some locktite on it or something similar to make sure it doesn't happen again in future? As you say it was only at low pressure so it must have just worked its way loose.

[silverzx]

Bit of t-cut and zip ties will sort that out!

[Piggy]

got meself some oil patch cleaner...works a treat in a pressure washer!!!

just to put final nail in my motoring coffin...the mrs 106nad mot has expired....in august.

been nagging for months to check it..."cant find it" she kept saying...

took me 5seconds this afternoon. where was it? in HER docs case in a folder SHE marked "car stuff".

got MOT booked for 8am locally. bet it will fail.

[Mrs puglove]

MTFU.....it's peugeot, I cant believe everyone still thinks its annoying when they break...its common practice!



On a serious note, you do get some bad luck !

[Piggy]

I wouldnt mind if I hadnt spent a year planning, spending and building it with idea that it lasted longer than a 1000miles

[Scott]

They're just teething problems buddy

[Piggy]

They're just teething problems buddy

better be!!

Thats not the first time that shiny engine bay has been covered in oil lol

[strictly_perv]

The oil line popping off was just the XUD saying "I'm too clean, I need to be covered in oil"

[Tom]

The bit everyone else likes that im crying over, i seen that and burst out with laughter haha that is awesome!

[darrenjlobb]

Hehe id say thats a relitivly clean XUD explosion compared to some disasters ive seen / had happen haha.

Just one of those things, could be worse, the last rod i smashed took out my rad, sandwhich plate, intercooler hose, rear engine mount and put dent in the bonnet, not to mension the oil!!!

Which pipe failed exactly, a proper hydrolic hose?

[THE_Liam]

Wrong hammer used when assembling it?

[Arron]

Bummer about the car.... But its only an aux belt!

Brake cleaner and nail varnish remover is good for removing oil stains... I had similar when my the rad burnt a 1p size hole thru my boost pipe... oil squirting into my engine bay at 20+ psi!!! Not as epic as your leak tho!!!

Its cool to break down in a 306....
