As oil needs to be warm before draining old out,take it for a steady drive with the heater on . ;D

Quick raise on jack when  you get back and then return in doors to let old drain ;D.When warmed again and replaced energy from effort of removing drain plug quick dash back out to remove filter and replace with new. :y

Again retire indoors to recovery and build up strength to refit drain plug and lower off jack. ;)

Finally when you have mustered up enough strength pour new oil into filler and only if strength allows today to remove dipstick and check. :-\

With carefull planning I recon you will be outside for no more than 20 minutes .....so get on with it  8)

I tried. I failed.

My top tip for today...   ...before you start a job, ensure you have everything you need to complete it  :-[

Dealer closed.

Its part done. Awaiting parts from Brackley's 2nd Omega parts warehouse, as Brackley's premier Omega parts warehouse is lacking bits.

Should add, that house I fancy in my road is up for sale again, this is the first Saturday its been for sale, so seen a couple of people look. Just seen some ol' duffer in a blazer look around it, then walk down the road, and raise an eyebrow at the site of a clapped out old Vauxhall jacked up on stands, abandonned ::)

;D

Its too pricey IHMO. Although I'd gain a double garage and double width drive (and a useless downstairs small study), is that worth an extra £100k over what I have. Not IMHO.

For a few smarties you could buy a few more clapped out old Vauxhall's to litter the place up a bit and really depress property values!!!  ;) Put cheeky offer on place down the road which they'll accept in desperation, rent yours out for a bit,  move, tidy up, property prices recover in Shadowland and all is well!! :)

Did you do the breathers as well or were you gay? ::)

Planned to change TBE's oil today. The car has suffered a lifetime of FSH by dealers, so turns the oil black quickly. Its probably overdue anyway, although can't remember how long ago I did it ;D

But I've woken up full of snot, and no energy.

Should a do it?

So it's you that given it to me >:(
