How did you get it all over yourself, you only need small spots of the stuff and they are in the sorts of places where you can only get at them by hugging the engine!

If its a thick coating, it peels off when dry.....or scrub with a scrubbing brush....

Baiscally, it was an old tube, I was trying to squeeze out enough, but suddenly I got plastered in the stuff before I got anywhere near the car!!

Mostly my left arm and nose are suffering!

Reminds me of a story......when I was 15 I had to go into hospital with a suspected appendicitis (it wasn't, it was worse!) and there was a guy opposite me, nice chap, who was having a tube remove from his back passage.....

Any way, this had been inserted 4 weeks early due to damage to the back passage following a DIY accident.......

I was only 15 and possible slightly nieve so spoke to his other half about it as I didn't;t believe him.....it turns out that they have a terraced house and he was wall papering the ceiling, whilst he was stood on planks across some tressels stripping the old paper off, she was hoovering up....

..... he slipped and landed on the hoover handle!

She had a pic of him, face down on the trolley with half an Electrolux sticking out his arse.....the fire brigade had removed the other half.....

She said he asked to have the photo taken as nobody would believe him otherwise!
