If you cant break; it clean it all off with brake cleaner and use some penetrating fluid to loosen it

Its a silly name for the device that stops transmission fluid leaking up ya loom. It is located on the 'box and where the electrical plug plugs in.

Why is it Jib that I can go into the workshop say on a Monday and all faults are pigs and you get nowhere with anything you touch, go back in on the Tuesday and those same jobs all get done in ninutes :confused::confused:

I dont know I think its something to do with feng shway or something, sometimes its best just to sit down in front of the TV, fold thy arms and dont move for at least 48 hours.
