[SOLVED] OT: Engine failure Solved

Well if the engine sounds right and isn't overheating, the oil must be working. And since oil gets topped up in older cars, you're replacing some anyway.

It's you that misunderstood, I thought it was obvious I meant ".... on a regular scheduled basis as is customary with most cars".

Let me make it simpler for you, you're saying that with modern cars you are told to wait for the warning light, THEN change the filter?

Who can argue with that logic?

ROFL

I see you haven't. Why do people insist on spending time ad money being nice to mechanical objects? When something stops working, then I fix it. I don't go to my doctor to get a checkup, I go when I have something that's sore.

Do you work for my local council? They have that same stupid attitude. They retarmac roads on a schedule instead of when they actually need doing. Hence we have some roads which are falling to bits and some which are redone when they were perfectly fine.

A car pulled up behind me at a stop light tonight. I glanced in the mirror, thought it looked rather clunky and studied it further. Ah, a Range Rover. Must be synchronicity that you mentioned it. They are somewhat rarer than albino grizzly bears in this part of the woods.

So you never had any shots to prevent anything ? Do you go to the dentist to have your teeth cleaned or checked unless they start hirtin ?

Range Rover are not like Rover, they're actually pretty good. They're very tough beasts, a proper 4x4 unlike the Japanese s*it that Honda make. Used to be the same company but split off years ago. The car manufacturer went bust, but Range Rover lives on.

Actually no, most have not got any service record. Maintenance is a was= te of money. Why fix parts that are still working?

Why the f*ck would there be a bypass to a filter? That negates the whol= e point of it. If the filter is clogged, the oil flow should reduce, an= d a sensor should warn you to do something. Don't designers have any br= ains?

No.

No. Pain is nature's warning lamp.

Not to mention allowing combustion byproducts (acids) to remain in the oil.

So you want the oil flow to go to zero? You do know that oil is the primary engine coolant, right? I think you should stick to something you know something about. Now go sit in your corner.
