ok, this might sound weird, but for non english spokers this might be something. if you don't mind could you give explanations for all car parts in english, how you call them and what they are, it'll help a lot.

lol prevtec nowt like confusing things, do you mean 'boot' not 'booth'
lets start a list might be easier then we can just copy and paste alternative words/names for things:
Boot = trunk
Bonnet = hood

yeah kinda broke lol, well suspected bottom end, first it decided to dump gear box oil all over roundabout luckily nothing serious was wrong there, now is making a really bad tapping noise from bout 3000 revs, kinda ruled out everything else it could be, hopefully if i sell enough decals she will be fixed in about a month

Isn't the crank at the bottom of the engine not the top? :blink1:
Charger you need to be more specific. We could reel off alsorts for you to not understand. Why don't you tell us what you don't understand then we can explain them to you in more detail...

whatever you'll explain it's helpful tn69.
But I can't explain something that I don't know can I? I mean I don't know what you don't understand therefor I could be explaining something to you that you already know. We need a few clues mate..

Oh dear I'm sorry.
When talking about a certain side of the car we say,
Nearside or N/S, meaning the passenger side.
Offside or O/S, meaning the drivers side.
Of course you will also have to remember we've got the steering wheel on the wrong side too!

glovebox = dustbin
floor = ashtray
floor = ashtray
Mate the crank is at the bottom of the engine it's what your conrods and pistons are attached too. The top cover if the engine is overhead cams is called the cam cover or on older cars the rocker cover. Don't know who told you that but the crank is definitely at the bottom of the engine.

well i wasnt going to say it og
prevec the breather is at the top of the engine so oil doesnt come out through it.

We call the signal lights indicators because you indicate your intention to turn.
The front side that hides the engine is called a wing.

hood is a bonnet
rim is normaly called a wheel
eerything else is alright

From what I've noticed on other international car forums, turning indicators often refer to the "signal lights" front and back, while those on the wings are often called winker lenses.
On the breather/crankcase topic, here in Sweden we often refer to the breather as a crankcase ventilator, though the meaning of the term may get lost in translation. Even though it's situated on or close to the cam covers, it deals with excessive oil that's been pushed from the crankcase or bottom end into the head. On turbocharged cars in particular you often add an oil catch tank, which serves to stop the oil from pouring into the intake system (joint is often placed between air filter/AFM and the turbocharger's compressor inlet.

thats what i was on about
the pipe attached to it from the air intake is actually to cool the top of the engine, the crankcase breather has tinfoil inside it to stop the oil coming out, thats true, its why you have like a resivoir underneath the normal air intake pipe
the breather is called a crankcase breather, thats why i called the rocker cover a crankcase,
now leave me alone:sad2: yer all at me, im not friends with ye anymore, and im getting my dad after ye all
lol
how are we all this morning???, im in great form
