Hi folks, I recently bought a bumper alignment kit from a guy on ebay thinking that it would come with fitting instructions but I guess I was wrong. I have tried contacting the seller but he hasn't come back to me. I bought the kit as it looks exactly the same as one being made/sold by Mark...

So I basically got a new battery this morning, fixing that problem, and actually got the engine to run on 3 cylinders. I then found out that almost all the oil was on the floor. I'm not really bothered with finding out exactly what it is that's wrong and I'm going to do a complete engine...
