Received a little girlie motor yesterday for the daughter, who starts driving in October. Need time to get it to my standards and go over it fully.

Been nice working on a car again.
a) Jesus I feel old now
b) Thanks for the warning, I'll avoid West Bridgfordshire for a year ;D

I felt old when he mentioned the apprentice popping over in his Evoque ( or whatever it is) I had the thought that this was probably the little lad who was making all the noise in the background of the cambelt DVD.  ;D
Its weird being the same age as old people !

Today I did about 3/4 of an oil change on hers.

Unfortunately, using my shiny new Pela 6000 pump was long winded and quite unsuccessful.  I'm guessing it was user error, but I did read the destructions, honest!

Mines slow to start but once it gets going it's ok, and it gets most of the oil out. Can't see how you can be doing anything wrong really.  :-\  I feel bad for recommending it now.  :-[
My fun car is a 2020 Bmw F32 430d M Sport with indicators.
My cruiser is an Audi A6 Avant S Line Black Edition with indicators.

The temperature of the oil being the critical factor for successful draining.  :y
