oil, :thumb

there's six bolts per side and that's it from memory. I was packing it too, one of mine was leaking and I had to fix it for rego, but it's quite easy.

I assume not much oil will leak out since most of it is stored in the sump.

Correct...not much oil. Undo the bolts and there is a black gasket that runs around the outside and the coil pacs/plugs.
A bit fiddly putting back on with new gasket..otherwise easy.

P.S may have jumped last hurdle tonight.

all I would like to see Matt is lots of smoke coming from the rear tyres of your car !

They have gone a little hard from sitting, may need to waste them.
I take my frustrations out on the v8 statesman that i have. Got some continental light truck tyres for it.....good block pattern. Smoked tyres daily and I just had to change one after 2 years..fronts still have 60%.

I think I post a 3rd gear burn out of my new toy going down the road just to make your day a little brighter :beer

o I need new tyres first !
