I did an oil change and breather clean yesterday

I paid my local garage £20 to change the oil/filter last week........while it was up in the air......got them to check for oil leaks........none found from engine........slight weep from g/b......but nothing to worry about.......but they did notice water staining around hbv and from another joint in a pipe close by......joint looks a bit like a donut thingy  ;D ..best how i can describe it.

Not sure if connections are weeping or its the hbv  :-/

Well done on changing the oil pan James  :y
I nearly changed my plugs and air filter Sun morning..........but a cold wind and spitting rain i decided it can wait  ;D

Really need to change the oil in tractor, but I've stripped the thread. Again.  In the 9 months I've had this car, thats 3 sumps I've stripped (or were previously stripped)

If there was a 'Shake my head you idiot' smillie then I'd have worn it out by now.  ;D ;D ;D

Way way above & beyond the call of duty! [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]. Well done! :y  :y :y :y

It'll be spring before I venture under my car.  ;D

PS What kind of torch?  ;) Maglite held in your mouth or a LED headlamp?  ;D  ;D

It was a little rubber torch that looked like it came out of a cracker, and had less light than a candle. And yes, I frequently held it between my teeth  ;D

I was in Woolworths the other day & bought one of these At the price I thought it was well worth the money. Work I bought me a Petzl head torch that was very similar apart from the £50 price tag. It's certainly better than a torch between your teeth when you're under ther bonnet/car
