--- Quote from: mickwinf on July 20, 2023, 05:29:03 PM ---managed to get a rh switch of the correct type, but thought i would sort the sump out as the one i had vapour blasted turned out to have a crack at the drain plug, probably caused by over tightening. I have a spare which i think is the original Lazarus one because it has a welded repair in the exact same place. As it looked solid I decided to use it but did a bit of grinding and sanding to make it look better. Now fitted so fill up with oil, now why is oil leaking all over? Oh S##t i forgot the sump plug! What an idiot! 2 ltrs of oil oll over my bench and the floor, what a mess. Will I now be struck off from the SOHC forum or be demoted from expert to newby, or a new category of F-in idiot?

OK Mick, you have qualified for idiot of the day for that one! But don’t worry it will be someone else tomorrow! But will we own up? 🤣🤣

Tee shirt, video, laughter.
We all done it sometime, same as starting a 500 with alternator cover off and searching for the plug in the oil slick!

davidcumbria:
Nice confession. I left my pan euro pean up on bike table with no rear wheel next to garage door. Son came in and one 400 kg bike upside down with no rear wheel on garage floor !

Not quite the same but when I did a service on my late Mother's Mr Blobby shaped Micra for the first time I jacked up the front - undid the sump plug left it to drain in my catch tray whilst I went for a Cuppa.Re-fitted the sump plug. Pulled out the oil catch tray that was full of lovely perfectly clean oil.
I'd drained the ATF into a waste oil container so had to buy some very expensive Nissan only ATF.

So continuing with the electrics I have a new battery fitted and starting to connect things up. Not fully assembling for now but checking everything works. I have starter motor, front lights and idiot lights all OK. I tried turning engine over to see if oil pressure light went off but not yet. I recall some discussion about priming the oil pump? Not ready for starting yet as cards need rebuild but getting there slowly. Oh has anyone got a spare positive battery lead for sale as mine is wrong.
