You will be on the floor, on your back, under your car for some time.

You want reasonable weather!

Or timbuk's unit  

Easy enough job, just dirty, I dont mind helping out if I'm free

You've got the job

The problem I have is getting the car level whilst in a position to pour the oil in !!! Too many slopes around here, and on the old miggy I spent nearly 2 hours trying to get it level whilst on axle stands, gave up in the end as I didn't want to start the job if I couldn't finish it properly

ATF party somewhere level with a ramp or pit would be really, really, really, good

I filled mine on the slant with the driver's side on axle stands then dropped it level to allow any excess to drain out before putting the plug in.

I also have a very useful tool for filling the box, based on a cheap killaspray from Lidl and a short length of 8mm copper pipe.

Thats the difference .. you have a level to drop it to !! all I have is slopes !!  

I was trying to find a level point and the only way was whilst on a jack .... and I don't go under cars just on a jack... lost a friend years back who did that and had the car fall on him .. it was 6 hours they reckon before he was found, he died in hosptial without regaining conciousness... I've always wondered what he went through in those 6 hours ....

Well, next time you come over to see Patrick give me a shout and you can have the use of my garage floor.

Would be good to have someone who can replace thrust washers, just in case  

Can't tell you the relief when I dropped the sumps and nowt but manky oil
