All right then, I will! I thought maybe it was getting too far off mechanical, or was getting boring or something... I'm enjoying it though, so why not!
Bahamas was pretty nice, I will admit, plenty of good weather... It was tiring though, I'll stand by that! I'm looking forward to just getting back to the Moggy's problems (though school restarts tomorrow, so I'll be running a pretty hectic schedule then...
)
Anyway, I fixed the timing case leak. That is now, as far as I can tell, non-leaking. But I'll check later today and update! Another leak has come to my attention (I'm surprised the car hasn't run out of oil!), on the oil filter- it appears that oil is coming out of the top of the filter body, where it joins the holder, and closer investigation revealed that the rubber seal is in some way snapped- getting under the car was neither pleasant nor easy in that case, with oil dripping on me and my head jammed up beside the sump, but it looks like the seal follows the join then suddenly shoots tangentially away from the body , and I can't see where it ends.
The solution is easy- replace the seal- but I just thought I'd mention it. Oh, and the filter kit came with three seals. One fitted inside the body at the seal point, one fitted outside, and one was just right and when tightened the body pressed it up against the join. (That was the one I used.) Which should I use next?
The questions I posed on the door channel stuff still stand... Pictures would be great!

Eh? My seal doesn't seem to have a U section... Certainly not one to which clips attach!The black clips push onto the metal lip of the door aperture, then the U section of the seal pushes onto the black clips.
