tomo Posted 23October, 2023 Author Report Share Posted 23October, 2023 Doing a oil change and found this. Which has ruined the structural integrity of the pan, The price of a new one is only a couple of hundred less than the X51 with improved baffels so x51 it is. Should be here in a week.

LeeM Posted 23October, 2023 Report Share Posted 23October, 2023 You shouldn't be driving it anyway @tomo. Just think of the extra kilometres you're putting on it, the wear and tear on the drivetrain, potential damage (like above...derrr 🙄) etc. Why not also think of the decreased future value, and more importantly the next owner you selfish git? Jeez, some people actually driving their cars...🙄 JWM, P-Kay, Mike-S and 2 others 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes have seen the Bash plate on recent evidence might be a sensible investment , Pretty sure it was not there at the last PCM service or they did not mention it? Any way the shit that trucks 4x4s and caravans throw all over the roads these days is a bit hard to see when running hard at night, Looks like a rock has left its mark.
