I told myself they'd be no bodge repairs of any kind on the Lexus. Not even small ones.

Safe to say I knew it wouldn't last...

:pathead:

Can't be that hard to de-bodge it though. :)

calster17 · December 13, 2015

Sadly don't have a drill or loose nut & bolt's at the flat (All that sort of stuff I keep at the parents), but tea brake at work tomorrow it'll be solved. :)

For you's who can't see what wrong, one of the bolt's for securing the battery clamp on broke. So Use's a jubilee clip to hold it down at that end for now.

Simple for a fix, drill the old bolt out and then replace it. Simples.

Camel · December 13, 2015

Can't tell from the pic but could you take the bracket off and then use molegrips on the end of the bolt and undo it that way? A bit easier than drilling and retapping the thread

TDUFREAK500 · December 13, 2015

depends on how long ago it was last undone, probably wont want to come out if it has been there a long time

calster17 · December 14, 2015

Head of the bolt snapped off so left the rest of it in the hole, so can maybe just use a punch and chap it out, but if not it's the drill. If i wanted to get fancy I could use a screw extractor set, but for the time it'll take over just drilling the old one...:lol:

Honestly going to have to class myself as an expert at doing it this way, as the amount of times ive had to do it on the older motors at work is crazy! (Although expected on a HGV I guess)

Honestly not a fussed about it as it's somewhat secure even without the clamp on, just when the drag strip/track days come around nexy year, that's one of the first thing they check.

TDUFREAK500 · December 14, 2015

The other option is welding a nut on to the end of the snapped bolt

calster17 · December 15, 2015

If it was something more important and bigger, but nah just a 6mm drill and a new 6mm nut & bolt with 2 washers was needed. (Well a 3/8 ratchet, 10mm socket and spanner as well)

You'll be Poor Camel again :lol:

Is that an Astra F in the background?!? :cheeky:

Joking aside, I'll be honest and say that is a fantastic colour for the 135! Dark blue/purple metallic is it? :drool:

Wish more BM's my way were in colours like that rather than white, grey, black and grey.

Yes, he will have to start forking out fortunes to replace the oil that always finds a way to leak out :cheeky:

It can't be as bad as the British made Mini I drove and the British made MG that I currently drive. :lol:

I swear they drilled tiny holes in the engines when they were made.

30 second exposure shot Me™ took of me driving the Lexus down the A93 at the Glenshee Ski Center. (At this point, is the Highest A-Road in the UK)

It was pitch black all around, and all that show was fun considering the road conditions thanks to it being in the negative temperatures and the way the road is. (Me™ of course having quattro power, would say he never felt any differences. :lol:
