MOT due *few wee issues*

[rkane]

MOT due next month.

Got a slight oil leak which I think is the crank seal.

And my flexi pipe has burst.

Anyone got part number for the OEM crank seal and alternator belt?

And anywhere to buy a replacement flexi?

Also what oil do people reccomend?

[A L 3 X]

For the crank seal ask Idrees mate, same for alt belt.

Flexi in the exhaust? Think your best taking it to an exhaust shop mate?

I use a decent 10W-40 semi synth for non forged but other people will say different

Be prepared to take your pants down for the crank seal.

Also check its not your sump seal first. I though mine had gone, turned out it was sump leaking!

Oil seal isnt a fail mate unless its pissing out n the car cant be driven.

As above flexi brake pipe or exhaust?

If it brake pipe jus get a flexi off someone who is breaking to keep it cheap. If not then just a motorfactors will prob be the same one on any starlet.

Like above make sure leak isnt sump.

I use 10w40 mobil super 2000 quality and cheap. Everyone has their own preferance.
