Just done mine, went well apart from the rain! Found a specialist nearby who charged me 50p for two seals 1 hr later and no more leak.

Mike, did you ever get yours sorted?

If not, next time you are coming this way, drop me a PM and I'll do them for you.

Cheers, Sam.

Well I reckon you should be beatified too Sam for managing it! Well I got the offside one done by Wheelquick last November but still have a (v. small - only seems to do it sometimes and I think its after long motorway runs) drip from the one nearest teh engine block. I keep trying to get booked into Wheelquick but they are always so busy, and as the drip (which seems to have all but stopped now - weird) is so minor I'm not panicking over it.

Your offer is a very kind one but I woudn't wish this one on anybody. Just relax in the glow of having managed to do yours. I'll get mine done at Wheelquick come next MOT time most likely.

And thanks again - I'm touched you even thought of me and my poor old back!

Well the offer is a standing one Mike, no trouble. If you come to the RAF Cosford museum again, you can leave it with me... it won't take long.

Out of interest, did yours start after running veg oil? Mine only just failed since I started running veg oil. I wonder if the higher viscocity causes an increase in pressure leading to failure. Any one else noticed a link?

I thought you had to be dead to be beatified but thanks for the comment!

Well yea, but then on the plus side, you would get to be a saint.

A very tempting offer which you may regret if I get down to the excellent museum at Cosford again! Thanks again dude

Interesting question and one I'd wondered about. But in my case it was doing it before I started on veg oil. I only ever did put about 6-9 litres of veg oil into a top up to full tank with diesel and if anything it seemed to reduce the drip. Now I've finished with veg oil (no decent saving = don't bother any more) the drip seems less than ever. So no clear correlation
