Looking at the engine shots, you may have an oil cooler leak.

 

Needs a new O ring between cooler and upper oil pan. Common issue.

 

Cheers man. It doesn't make sense. I think I'll chuck that on my list!

 

January 2019: Happy New Year everyone! My brother and I took the advantage of a quiet early morning today to take the wagon and my bike out for a cruise around the Royal National Park. I haven't given the car a real corner fang for a while, even with a wacky rear alignment it handled like it was on rails. I really see why people say what a difference a rear swaybar can make. I can't wait to take it around again when all the new goodies are on.

December 2018: The car was feeling great after the service so I thought I'd take it on a no destination drive. I ended driving around for like almost 5 hours. Remember when I said I wasn't feeling the same about the car, well, after a drive I felt the way I used to feel. God this car is amazing to drive!
 
Anyway, here are some pics from the trip.

December 2018: Much to my surprise I've only done 4,800km's in my car in the last 13 months meaning that it's been that long since I've done my last service. So fairly overdue. I've found out my oil filter has actually been leaking, which has been flicking oil onto the drivers side header. Anyway, popped the car up on stands.

Drip, drip.

Quick clean of the plug with a new washer.

Genuine is best.

Plug on and oil in. The usual Penrite 10w-50

While the car was running a little low from the leak I've always been pretty good at keeping it topped up anyway. Hopefully no damage. The oil that came out looked ok.
 
I've got to be honest, lately I've been pretty non interested in the car. I haven't felt the way I've felt for it in the past. It's pretty likely 2019 will be my last year with it. I've learned a lot and enjoyed it but it's never felt like a forever car.
 
However, there is a very big round of things ready to happen to the car, I've just been gathering parts for the last 6 months, but after that the big mods anyway will likely stop, or maybe they won't, time will tell. So this is what's now waiting to go on the car.

Clean as.

 

Thankyou sir!

 

Looks
Mint!

That dihatsu looks old school, what age is it as your sig says “00” but it looks older the that!

Cheers

Bennie

 

Its actually the same year as my blue one, both are 2000's, the red one just has a factory old look front that could be optioned in Japan.

 

Looking good.....

 

Cheers mate!
