cheers andy!
he he, might actually mess up the workshop though, as when it gets hot it kind of trickles out! :shock: when he bought it, i think it had some really thick oil in there rather than what is recomended. Maybe he'd be better putting some thicker oil for classic car in there before he goes for mot....
Its a 1.9dg.
thanks again,
kathy
