nope no drain plug on those empty the oil through the dipstick tube lol quality idea that, i have a couple of mates that have got em they are good fun in the twisty bits indeed and both of them went to different engineering companies had the oil drained and had them re-do the sump with a sump lug in it ????? just a thought lol


If I change the oil in it every year, that'll make it about 4000 miles between changes so I think I'll buy one of these ....  ;)  ;)  ;)

I have one of those pumps, use it for ATF changes. Nasty & Messy method.

But for a standard oil change? You have got to be kidding!

How much did it set you back?

The car was £5000 & I haven't bought the pump yet. As far as messy method .... there isn't an alternative - I suppose you could always turn the car upside down, it's samll enough.  ;D  ;D  ;D
