You'll loose some in the new filter. If your piston rings are all good then it might take a while to run down into the sump. Always fill, run for a few minutes and then top off.

Did you fill the new filter before spinning it on? I doubt it makes loads of difference, but it might make a bit.

Shouldn’t need time. Mine drains down to the sump pretty quickly. Do you know where the oil was before you started? At the end of the day, you need to fill the oil until it’s at the top mark on the dipstick. On mine, the difference between the...

That's exactly what I was thinking about. I will do the change again after 1-2k KM. I'm afraid that the last oil change was in 2022 - with extremely few killometres.

Thank you! I have now had another look. Exactly at minimum. I'm topping up a little. But the car is currently standing a little uphill - I'll keep an eye on it. Do I have to worry that the old oil was a little thick (deposits at the bottom of...

If the new oil you added has cleaning agents in it, it will probably loosen up a decent amount of gunk. So i would do another oil change reasonably soon. The how soon would be based on how dirty i think the engine is and how expensive the new oil is.

Are you standing on an almost perfectly level surface, ive noticed my oil level change quite drastically based on the levelness of the surface. I check my level about 5min after engine turnoff thats plenty time for all the oil to drain back down...

Got to find the mounts to do one of mine, it makes quite a din at the moment.

Always worth having a refurb kit just in case. That way if it fails one day, you can refurn in the evening, and have the car going ready for the next day !! As Keith says, excessive vibration is usually one or two of the rubber mounts failed.

Yip👍

MY 2000 onwards I think.

There see, biscuit /cake thing☝️

In a bid to reduce my road tax and congestion charging bills, I've cleverly disguised the car as part of the Japanese Imperial Navy. Does anyone know how you get the diplomatic plates? eBay? Doesn't need to have the D dropped, I'm not that...

Too many toys dude🤭🫣

You keep the Mars bar, they are full of Palme oil now and give me indigestion.

Can't turn your back on em for a moment :rolleyes:

Took her for a nice day out and left her sat in the sun overlooking the hills around Burnley while I went to a garden party and she must have overheard me when someone said what's broke this week and I said nothing she's all good cos she rewarded...

Series ain't ready yet.. need to bleed the brakes and replace the clutch Flexi. Then it should move.. I've got new brake shoes to put on.. the tyres are.. ermm... old!!!

I find the older you get the longer it takes I did the rear bearing on my disco 3 and when i came to put it back togeather there was a return spring missing on the R /H side handbrake shoes i spent 3 days looking for it and then finally ordered...

Say 3 Hail Mary's and you are forgiven my son. We all have that blank moment now and again :D

Put the wheels back on the series lol, what about the bike? OMG 🫣 Nothing wrong with your memory, my brain must have blanked that for good measure 😂 (plausible deniability)

Amber on my LHD 99.

Don't forget the Mars bar :D 👍

That ranks up there with "it'll only take 5 minutes"

We've used aerosus before for our own and client's cars👍

Not on my 99' they ain't matey 🤔

What make of pump did you order? 😳 Don't say britpart 🫣

Update I went to drop the tank but I decided to lift the back seat. I found a cut in the floor. Someone had went at it.. So I continued to remove sender.. The 2 nuts were a nitemare to remove, they were in bad shape.. I got them wit a lot of...

Update. Well that was easy, just place a carpet over the modules under the seat (removing seat first) then lay on your back on the carpet, legs in the air, arms under the dash. Got it out and done what I wanted to. Now on to the next disaster.

Now you've gone and jinxed it!!
