Evening all,
Despite being boxing day the weather looked good for washing my car :approve:
Not many good before pics as I am a noob and didn't think and all the pics I do have were taken on my iphone in bright sunshine so are poo.
I removed all of the inner arch lining, pressure washed the...
I know that fully synthetic oil is specified for the gearbox, however if I am changing the oil regularly (every few thousand miles) is it ok to use semi synthetic but of the same grade?
