Magnetic oil !

[WizardKing]

After dropping the old oil, I found it to be very magnetic . . .
Here is a telescopic pick-up tool 'stuck' on it.

Can you guess where this came from on my VR4 ?

[Atik]

Diff oil with broken bits of diff still in the oil which is what the magnet is catching on?

[steelie600]

Nope!!

I cant answer cos i know the source!!

[WizardKing]

There are no visible parts of metal as such, they're all very, very small (and numerous !)

Keep guessing. . .


p.s.
I'm still driving the car but with new oil !

[Spirit]

Is it the old sump plug in the old oil ?

[steelie600]

try again!!! no metallic lumps of any description in oil!!!

[mike74]

power steering fluid?

[steelie600]

nope

[elnevio]

Can of 'Engine Restore' poured into engine oil before draining?! :rolleyes4

[steelie600]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i like it Nev!!

[Beastlee]

Based on the qty it's most likely the transfer box or the AYC clutch pack. I reckon the latter as it's looks like a 5l ATF tub.

[WizardKing]

Some close guesses, some funny ones.
Should my faith in the experts here be wavering ? /Hmmm

Only kidding. Should I spill the beans or are any more guesses on their way ?

[White Lightning]

Transfer box?

[Spirit]

There were some iron filings in the container you used ?

[WizardKing]

BINGO !!

Well done, that man ! (White Lightning) Transfer box, it was.
Yep, afraid so.
I've already picked up a replacement from Mo, just need to get over to Kev's for fitting.

[White Lightning]

Cool, do I win a prize ...? :dance:

And Mo to the rescue again. :happy:

[WizardKing]

No but I think there are now !

[WizardKing]

You've already won the best prize possible . . . being not only a Taurus but one born on the 15th. May, too ! [a.k.a. "The Day Of The Dreamweaver", b.t.w.]

[WizardKing]

According to the book, The Secret Book Of Birthdays , IIRC.

[Beastlee]

Typical, 50/50 split and I got the wrong one.

[WizardKing]

That's why I put the picture of the container up. You thought it was a 5L ATF tub.
I thought you'd come straight back with the answer.

You did get it correct, though Kev pushed you away a little ! [That was a good 'un , Kev.]

[steelie600]

I try!!!! LOL

LOL, I thought it was only one answer per person. I had a feeling that Kev was teasing me for my choice. :furious4: :leer: :chugchug:
Shame I didn't win an awsome birthday hehe

[WizardKing]

No worries, you can join in the joint bash we're having. It goes by the name of Japfest /Steeringw /woot2 :thumbsup: /rally

[steelie600]

you never know my car might be fixed by then?????!!!!!£££$$$$

[Beastlee]

LOL, I've been temoted with it but have a show on the 9th MAy as well as a 2 week trip to the UK over Easter. If I could work the costs and get an exhaust fitted at the same time it culd be a possibility.
