... today I broke a Dyson battery which was already broken 
My Chinese knock off Dyson battery never worked from the start...so I broke it some more. After opening it up to check for any obvious faults, I had a go at swapping the BMS from the original Dyson battery with dead cells. Cut a long story ...it's still broke

I had two Floureon, 3Ah, 18V Makita clone batteries once that were excellent. That was "early on" when clones were first a thing.
Since then all the clones I've had have been crap.
I only buy genuine batteries now.

dead sorento. engine on its own is worth more than the entire car so was a no brainer to break it. it took me 2 hours to get to the point of lifting it off the engine mounts, and 3 hours to get the seized input shaft to let go of the clutch. hands down the hardest box split ive ever done.
but i managed to snap the gear leaver off the gearbox. bugger.

Is what the back of your motor looks like when it's been dumping about 7l of engine oil out while hoofing down the motorway
70mph (honest) in lane 3 on the M4 this morning just before Newbury the engine oil light comes on.
Pulled straight over to the hard shoulder, popped the bonnet and the oil filler cap was not where it should be
Luckily it was still rattling around under the bonnet. Had some oil with me, didn't even register on the dipstick after putting 4l in.
A another 4l bought from Newbury services for ££££ and I'm on my way. Think it lost about 7l, so just 2l left in the sump
Engine seems OK, no delay in oil pressure buildup on starting and no strange noises so hopefully dodged a bullet
At least the underneath now has a very decent covering of oil to keep the rust at bay

G101, used it today to get the oil off, very impressed
