more bits falling off !!!

[Rick]

had a horrid rattling this morning thought the engine was fooked./

 

got home and checked underneath etc

 

theres only one bolt holding the starter in and the third is on its way out

 

wtf!?!?!? hope it aint chewed the teeth off the end.

 

deep breath and back to work

 

at least it wasnt on the motorway

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

very same thing happened to me before,i just found some bolts at home,bet them into it and it never came loose again....

[Rick]

easy job to fix but ida been buggered too far from home.

 

can feel its hurt the flywheel teeth a bit but nothing of major concern. il pack some spare bolts for the CF journey

[Vista]

Can you put spring washers on them rick? Or some threadlock? Be careful which threadlock you use though as you need to prevent them vibrating loose, not lock them in there forever!

[Rick]

i used some loctite this time, dunno how strong that stuff holds

 

il be taking spare bolts anyway just in case.

 

funny when you here that ping under your car and you think nah its prob a stone chucked up by the wheel. haha il know next time somet is hanging off
