Quinten Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 what has happened to that? No oil filler cap!!!!! and a melted rubber pipe ( breather?) What happening INIT Well... I really don't know what has happened... All I can do is speculate, and in that scenario, the cap popped off (but why?!?) and landed on the exhaust manifold causing mayhem and molten plastic. Oil spray everywhere :/ Can't even say when it happened, only that it must have been in the past 2 weeks. Have ordered a new cap and then will fabricate some kind of anti-pop-off mechanism, much like a champagne cork... Quote

B.RAD Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Hi Q, if you're using the filler cap as a breather you need to pull all that wire mesh out, it gets clogged and causes this when pressure builds. 1 Quote
Quinten Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 Really? Well, that would certainly explain then why it popped with no-where to go. I'll rip it out of the replacement Quote
Rab (bombero) Reid Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Like the show/hide tab Very clever! I wonder if that could be used as a Before and After tabs for the Stoneleigh BBQ .. or other social gatherings! ;-P Quote
Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Very clever Q, not so clever loss of the cap though 1 Quote
