I wanted to do an engine oil change today before i go to college in stafford in the morning so i set about it. found in need a square 8mm tool to undo the sump plug but didnt have one, so i ground a piece of metal down... To find it was hollow and snapped the end off. My dad tells me morrisons petrol station have a machine you can stick in your oil dipstick and it sucks all your oil out... so i grab my container of castrol whack it in my boot and for good measure put a spare car battery against it to stop it falling over. Drive to morrisons to find no such machine has existed for a good few years :dapprove:
drive home open boot to find. Oil everywhere soaked through the boot carpet spear wheel + tool kit + skateboard + binoculars
S dont ask) + sun visor protector thingy from tescos swimming in oil.
took the best part of 4 hours to take it all out and clean the whole thing. Doubt the boot carpet will ever be the same and my hoodie is ruined. After the cleansing has taken place and the boto carpet is hanging to dry in the garage (its still hanging there now) my neighbour tried to lend a hand by giving me another piece of none hollow metal to grind to size, so again i set about it got it to the right size but it in. I dont think my cars ever had an oil change and for neither love nor money could i get the sump plug off. I ended up twisting the actual metal tool i had fashioned
so i gave up, stuff it !
rage your springs survived the oil and are now wrapped in a rag in my boot !
WD40 fixed my squeaky break pedal though
gah...
Oh and i lost that large metal paper clipy looking thing from the tool kit... what was that thing for anyway ?
