Loo Knee trust me if I have a go myself it will go pear shaped. I learnt a long long time ago that me and cars dont mix. I had an old Ecort mexico and decided I was going to have a go at changing the oil myself. Got Mum's washing up bowl under the car ( she was sooooooo pleased with me !!! ) undone the nut thing , drained the oil , removed Mums bowl , disgarded oil and washed around with some vim ( didn't work ) then poured my can of Casrtol GTX in , went to check level , thought bloody hell this is a big sump , poured rest of gallon can in , still nothing , then noticed a small , but rapidly increasing amount of fluid on the road , yep , I forgot to put the sump plug back in , so that was the last time I had anything to do with cars , and I have found since then that the " horses for courses " rule of thumb works very well for me . Now give me a van full of stuff to deliver to Russia , no problem , moving a 4 bedroom house , all normally done ( 3 of us ) in about 5 hours , emptying that is . But changing or fixing even the most simple jobs on cars , no thanks , I will as they say " gat a man in " who knows what hes doing. Take care
