Oil Leak

[Eyezy]

I was looking for the source of a oil leak that I had assumed was from the oil pressure switch on my recently purchased 97 4.6 HSE. I found that I appear to be missing a bolt from the front cover. It is to the left of the crank (When looking from the front of the car) below the pressure switch, can anyone tell me what size the bolts are on the cover? Its kinda hard to tell when using a mirror to see it.

Thanx

Hi Mate

Do you have a copy of RAVE? It has a bolt identification section. From memory I think I had to use a 7/16 spanner to check those bolts.

I hope it isn't stripped:eek:

Hi Steve
All good thankfully - I found the size here Allbrit MG ROVER & Land Rover Ersatzteilkatalog (http://www.allbrit.de/NAV.cfm?PAGE=556952&SPRACHE=EN) really useful parts list. It was 5/16 UNC 2 1/8 long. Wound that puppy in after work this arvo and appear to have solved my environmental disaster :D

Cheers

Great stuff mate, and that is an excellent online resource. Looks a bit like microcat laid out a little differently
