It`s a fact. If youre having an old landy you must have friends who owns a big truck!

I`m not sure what the plug is called in english. but it`s something about cooling or something. Water everywhere! I was lucky, the engine is not broken! I manage to stop before something really bad happend...

Core plug?
One of the blanks in the engine block.

Yeah, that`s the one. It`s like a "big" hole in the engine block right now. have ordered a new one. So hopefully I have the car running in a week or so.

Very odd for one of them to pop out.  Hmm...  Be sure to fit the new one properly using the grease and tapping it in very slowly!

My sparepart dealer says it could be becouse the engine hasnt been used for many years. the man i bought the engine from, had bought a car on ebay. and he told me that the former owner had not (sorry my spelling and grammar) used the car in about 7 years or so.

so there`s why something like that could happend. So now it`s full service on my car :)
