Lockdown is expensive in car parts

[cheechy]

My personal experience of the lockdown is that its both challenging from a cost and storage perspective.

I was due to have the turbo and tandem pump changed but the lockdown came into play just before I could have this done.

Since then I've bought a DMF, clutch and parts around this. The car better do another 100k+ now or I'm not going to be a happy chap.

So quick question for anyone who has done this - just wondering if I need to acquire liquid gasket (and if so what type) for the Crankshaft Oil Seal Transmission End? It does appear to have some kind of seal integrated just not sure if this needs additional sealing when fitted....

Sold my ford escort rs turbo and now waiting for my driveway to be concreted.

I don't know about price but I've been waiting over a week for 2 numberplate lights to be delivered from ECP, before lockdown they would be in my eager hands in 10 mins.
