don't tell the wife, she would not understand
 

Found an oil leak on the gearbox oil cooler on passion No3.

Before I can get it ally welded I need to get it really clean. Degreased it and washed it down in hot water.

Now for the bit the wife would not understand ..... it's in the dish washer on a very hot, heavy soiled wash :o

Problem is she is due back any minute now and the dishwaser is still going :o

Sshhhhhhhh :lol:

:o :o :o

Twas nice knowing you :lol:

Actually, you shouldn't have shown that you knew how it worked!!

At least it's in the dishwasher and not the washing machine tell her!

Do finish do an Active powerball with Gunk now ? LOL

Don't forget to put it in the oven on gas mark3 for 20 minutes to dry it of!!!

or pop it in the microwave on re-heat

just tell her . . .
 

its a new type of siv!!!

Khushy

Now that sounds like a plan ... was wondering how to make sure all the water was out of it :D

The other cleaning trick with smaller parts is to boil them in a saucepan filled with water and washing powder.
Carburettors can be cleaned overnight by leaving them soaked in a pot full of the cheapest cola you can find (un-gums all the ways).

God I love the dish washer for cleaning bike bits..................but don`t tell the boss!
