Krzys Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The idea of a cheap track toy appeals to me as well! But I haven't anywhere to keep such a thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Well boys i think its the end of the road for this one. It ran low on oil after a 40ish mile trip without the filler cap on. I'm such a bellend topped up in the dark.Oil everywhere as you can imagine.Its sluggish and has developed a growling noise from the bottom at the belt end whilst revving it.Feel like jumping off a bridge. Such an idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 I hope its something like that. I need to have a good look when its light. Probably put clean oil in aswell. Likely its contaminated now I guess.Feelin a bit sorry for myself about it at the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Nightmare mate, sorry to hear that, as said above I wouldn't right her off yetSo what happened did you forget to put the oil cap back on? I did this myself in my Astra but caught it in time as a strong smell of hot oil came through the vents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Ah man! Just treat it as an oil change and see what she sounds like when you run her! Fingers crossed dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
