just servicing the megane (knew it was a mistake before i started)
oil that came out, black but ok
more oil in the expantion tank than water "D`oh"
looks like new head gasket ?? (but no water in the oil)
or could another seal have gone?
or head gone porus like red tops do |

i remeber the day when you just took the
fuel line, coil lead, starter lead, alteranor lead, drive shafts, engine mounts, speedo cable, exhaust, coolant pipes
and lifted the engine out (and at this point bloody earth strap)
now how many wires (i am going to have fun putting the engine in tomorrow night)  |
