    Don't mix steel seal with red coolant as it won't work. The steel seal crystallises when the water heats up and starts glogging up water ways.

    The knocking was probably because it had no oil pressure for a moment. When ever you do work in the engine it's recommend cranking the engine over with the fuel pump disconnected to build oil pressure then reconnect the fuel and try to start

      @TheOtherStuff  6 місяців тому +1

      Thank you Roger, really appreciate it alot definitely not the easiest thing to do on your driveway, would be easier with a ramp and a garage🤣
      Yeah of course! So it was so rounded I couldn’t take it off, so I welded a spanner to the bolt so they were basically one piece, then whacked it loose! I then had to cut the spanner in half as it got stuck on the subframe so didn’t spin any further😅😅😅
      But just by making it one piece allowed me to have something to bite onto to undo it !!!
