This reminds me of one of my projects - to put some sump plug bosses into the autobox sumps. I know what I'm going to be doing at my welding evening course next week.  :y

You know you need a TIG set with A/C  to do ally?  :-/ :y

You're right - an Omega's g/box sumps are steel, how would the magnetic stay in place otherwise!

Must confess it's a job I keep putting off :-[ :-[ ::) ::)

I think I may just pay someone to do it because I can't risk spilling all that oil on the road! :o :o


I used one of those big round oil trays from machine mart, but the dripping would cause some mess on a road, you would want a load of card / paper down to catch the drips, you may be under there some time, so no a job I would relish on a road, want the comfort and safety of a drive, even if sloped I would do it on a drive, and just use a level road for the final top up.

Safety isn't an issue on my road... I live at the very end of a cul-de-sac, miles from anywhere so traffic is virtually non-existent. TBH, I'll get the number of the guy my MOT tester (who's a mate too) sends all his AT work to as he's highly recommended and cheap!!

I'll just supply the parts and let him get on with it :y :y :y

If I organise it right I can drop the car off and get Johhnycboy to pick me up and make me a cuppa whist it's being done :y :y

No problemo you cheeky tinker ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
