A Pela pump is the way to go, made short work of my daughter's Mini oil change.

 

Does a Pela pump change the oil filter?

Really sorry to hear that mate, hope it works out as best it can for you.

I cant justify a Pela pump over a 13mm socket for the odd oil change ......

 

and just used the last bottle of £7.50 5/30 that H&B flogged off last year !

 

cant say my car gets spoilt .....

My van was twatted in the pub carpark next door to where I live. The place is rife with drink drivers...Is it worth ringing 101?

Yes, absolutely, especially if you've got a registration number. Even if nobody's available to deal with it straight away, it always gets recorded as Intel and an eye will be kept out.

 

If it's more of a general thing it's still worth reporting, although I doubt there would be anyone available to sit up and keep a look out at closing time.

 

Report online if you don't want to sit in the 101 queue.

I know you are joking, but I have deep reservations about using the pumps, the bit they leave in is the bottom sludgey crap that is the main bit you want out of there. I have never used one a Nd don’t think I ever would. I guess they are better than no oil change, but for a small amount of extra effort I wouldn’t think twice about doing it properly.

Sad news, but don't consider it time wasted. It was 16 years of life. New chapters will bring new opportunities.

Aye, there's an element of laziness involved for sure as I needed the Pela anyway to change the oil on the boat motor (no room to put a tray under the sump). I have also heard that a Pela can drain more oil than removing the sump plug, but I guess it depends on where the plug is - Not all are at the lowest point.

Commiserations fp, hope things start to pick up.

Also, 16+18=34 so still plenty of youthfulness to go.

Just cut a hole below the boat sump :-)

Always glad to be of help, it will also help to let any water out that comes in over the top from your sailoring type stuff you do.

 

 

On a different note, there should be a special place in hell for people who remove flip up headlights and replace them with cheap placcy halogen rubbish. Just seen a beautiful Mitsi GTO totally ruined by a Halfords fan.

[Tamworthbay]

And do you have a thread for the boat on here? I bet quite a few people would be interested.

Sorry to hear your news, if you enjoyed the time you were together then it wasn't wasted.

Yes. And does a quick valet too. Tends to miss the ashtray so watch out for that.

We all are. If the Government. Our Government. Made up of people elected by us.

If they, therefore we allow a defence industry to sell stuff to the rest of the world whilst taking tax and national insurance and bringing dirty foreign money into the country, then we all are benefiting from the sale if arms internationally, and therefore you average pub landlord is an arms dealer.

[loserone]

Not often I agree with you, but in this case, we're arms dealers United in opinion.

Valentine's fucking day. It brings the worst out.

My wife and I had a 3 day argument, which MikeRs wife attempted to solve as mediator, but made it no better and maybe a little worse, but I'm a fucking disappointment to myself and my wife and I see the end of 29 years coming up fast.

 

The weekend before I thought it was all fine. Not at all.

I mean, I'd happily work for BAESystems on Things that kill, if the hourly rate is acceptable. Just need to know where your moral line stops. Wouldn't work for Nestle or any tabbaco company.

[Mally]

When I started at BAe Systems they only did commercial planes on that site, which was fine by me.

They later brought Military repair work in.

I decided that if I was asked to work Military I'd refuse.

Never happened, so all good in my head.

If it had happened would I have been listened to or sacked?

Am I an hypocrite, for thinking commercial was fine and military not, when it's all the same company?

Yep,anything that Nestle sell is every bit as bad as a CV90,or a Typhoon.......
