50p for a suitable block of 2"x4" :-X

You can even notch it if required...

In December with it freeing outside, this method does appeal. I could just about get nose of the car in the garage, meaning dry/warm for oil change.
So change the oil in the Autumn then.

If it has a drain plug, I'd use it.

TBH, my experience of pumps has never been worth the effort.

Don't think a 2 1/2 year old could be described as a new baby.  ::)   :-\

Anyway it's about time you created a little brother or sister for her, and now you have a shiny new car to cart them around in, you've no excuse!  :D  ;D

Would the pipe naturally sit right at the bottle? Not idea how rigid pipe is TBH.

Remember the lace curtain wire thingies ..... generally white with a screw in eye at each end? It's the same ast that .... ie flexible but rigid enough to insert down the dip stick tube  :y
