Used to have an easy solution to that.......park the car with the passenger side wheels on the kerb.......you might be luck and find a drain (I never said that.......use a neighbours drain)

Yeah, thanks.  I've actually been really busy this week.  Went down to the Cotswolds today.  A black helicopter hovering over the road, a motorcade, and 2 places where they were inspecting for car bombs going the same way on the A429?!?

If I crank through some stuff in the morning I may be able to come over in the afternoon, but don't hold your breath  :)

Since halfrauds wants too much for a drain pan, I have dirty intentions with 2 used 5L water bottles.  Figure I can cut a hole in one side and use it as a drain pan.

Never done a cartridge filter before.  This is going to be fun  :(

320K miles is the most I have seen on a V6 so far...and it was running very well.

Okay.....so say i am lucky and get 300000 out of mine.

Its currently got 78000. I do 3000 miles a year  :o

So it will live longer than me - unless i live to the ripe old age of 106!!

Unless the rust gets it first >:(
