I know what you mean. I only do minor things, oil + oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, pollen filter and maybe brakes. I wont do anything bigger (e.g. timing belt). And I have a car that's out of warranty (I bought it recently and it had done ~100k) . You of course need to invest in the...

harsh but true

I had 3 problems along route. First time I've changed the fuel filter on this car (Ford Grand CMAX 1.5TDI 2016), but I have changed fuel filter on a previous car ~ 10 years ago! 1. (Obvious one). I dropped a bolt into the engine bay. 2. Struggled to get one of the fuel hoses out. Turned out you...

btw this is what it looked like before I lost the bolt! (The one on the right - at about 3 o clock position)

OK guys thanks, I'll try this , the following bolt going in from below the housing, so the thread appears at the top https://www.toolstation.com/high-tensile-set-screw/p76919 then a nut on top to secure the bracket to the housing. So thread remains exposed...

thats a must have tool! thanks for the tip, KJust ordered this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075XK449M/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

is this thread M6 or M5?

I'll try that.. however the place it dropped is like a small valley with no daylight. I took off the engine under tray and no sign of it.

nice ideas guy.. would really prefer to use the legit part. might try ford, if it's only a few squid I'll buy it. If it's extortionate will go with your idea of a threaded stud with two bolts either side. I think it's M5 thread Thread width is 5mm so that's M5 right?

both sides have the same thread. There's actually two of these double sided bolts, thankfully I didn't lose the second one!

This bolt secures the fuel filter bracket, the bolt head is central to the thread (see pic), and the top part is used for the engine cover. The problem is that when I was changing the fuel filter I dropped it in the engine bay and now cant find it! I made do with an ordinary bolt with the same...

That's a good point it doesn't look like its been moved since it was put there

How about this Hi P, how are you and how is Mrs P?, actually wanted to ask you about the trailer at the back I had a window fitter come round to measure up for double glazing and he struggled to get his van out because of the trailer. He'll be back again to do the fitting. Have you got any...

OK I do know he had friction with the previous owners son. I had a new water supply laid a while back and went to all the neighbours and told them (the road needed digging up). They were all very polite and accepting about it, however he did tell me that he had arguments with Mr XXX about the...

For those of you who think the neighbors are close knit.. my immediate next door neighbor (who didn't know who owned it) - told me I should charge rent for them storing it on my land! So, I dont think they'll be ganging up on me!! Quite frankly removing it benefits everyone. Having said all...

good thinking. yes they would also have a problem

I havent spoken to them about it yet. He has a garage.. which may be full up? he parks his car in the garage

well that's what I was planning.. but I wanted a 'move it or else ...' before I spoke to them in my back pocket. I wanted to know what the or else consequence would be. i.e. if they refuse what could I do about it? although things are slightly more complicated (see my last post)
