I thought I'd have a really relaxed day today, since it was raining again and I didn't wanna be out getting piss wet through
I started out running the car in gear, making sure it goes through them all. Everything went fine and dandy. I remembered to drop the passenger window this time too🤪
But my brain got the better of me after running the car up. Since it was already warm I decided to change the oil and filter
New oil and Purflux filter
Been 1 year since the last service
Marked the filter up
At this point the oil was flowing out and I had no issues. I couldn't find any dowty washers in my filter box... s**t
I was in luck that I hoard everything. I had 2 copper washers in my engine build box... You know, that engine I've been saying I'll build for the last 3 years🙃
Copper washer found I was back on track. It's a good job I had them too because the copper washer assortment pack only went up to M14, looks like I'll be buying in some M16 ones
Oil filter off, this was a doddle. But then as soon as I went to remove my oil filter pliers I knocked them into the the oil pressure sensor and it gave up. You can see just how crusty the 23 year old sensor is
Not to bother. I had a Clio 200 engine in the back of the garage so I pilfered the sensor out of the bag of parts
Except that didn't go too well since Renault decided to change the connector from the F4R736 to the F4R830. t***s
Gonna get a sensor from one of the engines at work tomorrow. If not they're only £7 so it's not the end of the world. The eagle eyed viewer at home will notice the date mark isn't on the filter, it smudged so I wiped it off and rewrote it whilst the filter was on the car.
I've re-written my list now so I've got some stuff to work on. Now we're getting to the finer details
