Went to change the oil last week in my Triumph, all going well, put the sump nut in tighten up as usual, then pour the new oil in.
All seems well until I notice that it is dripping, maybe I didnt tighten it enough, seems a bit loose, better tighten it a bit more.
*CRACK* the sump pan splits. Oh shit I forgot to install the crushable washer. Bollocks.
30 quids worth of oil dumped into the road and 210 quid for a new sump pan and gasket...expensive mistake! I have changed the oil dozens of times in the past, mind on other things.....!?
About Me
- Beastinblack
- Recently discovered I have aspergers syndrome. After years grinding myself down I finally have an answer to my shortcomings and my talents. I have the following traits: rubbish at: eye contact, small talk, maintaining conversation with NT's, get annoyed by: background noises ie people chewing, cars in the background, people talking in the background, extreme lights, heat & touch, changing situations,! never had: the knack for reading between the lines, the ability to see other people's point of view. good at: Music (I can play the cello, drums, and bass guitar), attention to detail, loyalty, deep thinking about the planet, cosmos, music, shapes, objects etc, and talking about them! secondary conditions: paranoia, anxiety, low self esteem. My goal is to find myself, accept myself for who and what I am and start the journey of self discovery. I believe it is the only way in order to face the world and make the most of it. My intentions tend to be misunderstood due to poor communication. I can be described sometimes as a moaning old git who acts like a five year old :) Oh yeah I love motorcycles.
