Have you removed the battery and battery tray?
Pesky jones:
Yeah removed that. Ive got all types of extensions but the socket that holds the t30 bit wont fit in the gap..think I need a t30 screwdrive tbh
doylebros:
This long reach bit 1/4 drive so you can torque it up is the job.
vRSAlex:
Deffo not looking good.
Pesky jones:
I will get the long reach bit during the week.
The only thing im hoping for now is that the tensioner is obviously completely broken, explaining the lack of oil pressure. Its obviously lost pressure causing the chain to skip, but whether that loss of pressure is due to a failed tensioner or a problem with oil pressure else where, such as oil pump.
However even if the tensioner is the reason for the lost pressure, I still wont know the extent of the damage.
In your opinion @vRSAlex whats the best possible scenario from what youve seen and read? I assume worst case is the damage is so severe it isnt worth repairing and new engine.
Il have to take it to a garage to get their opinion at some point when.I can afford every outcome, but are they even going to look in to the possibility of repair from what I can.show/ tell them or just jump straight ro new engine...
