Rover Man Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Well got it all back together only to have an oil leak from the bell housing. Now i changed the rear crank seal as it was weeping before the gearbox failure so guessed the issue is where its sealed to the sump gasket. So out with the tools today to remove the sump and see whats going on. Found that id pinched the gasket when fitting the crank seal. All cleaned up with new sump gasket sealed correctly seems to have sorted the oil leak issue. Now about 4 years ago after reading some oil pump bolt horror stories i bought one of the new ones with the thread lock. Never got round to fitting it so thought today two birds with one stone. Was a bit alarmed to find the old bolt had backed out about 5mm so may have dodged a very expensive bullet Few bits to put back on the a good road test tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 All fixed and back on the road. Cost about £1400 in parts and lots of hours work. Im quite pleased as im no mechanic and it was quite a big job to undertake on the drive with just basic tools. Just shows what you can do if you put your mind to it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover Man Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Gone back to my old exhaust setup. Centre silencer delete pipe and standard rear box. Hated the sound of the sports back box when under power . Already sold the sports pipe so not lost much . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover Man Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Im really pleased with it. You can see why they cost so much in the quality of it. So easy to setup and pack away. Just need to wait till the end of the month now for the MMR national Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
