When the sump is off ??
« on: March 26, 2019, 04:20:17 pm »
I am having a new oil pickup pipe fitted soon.
Are there any other jobs worth  doing while the sump is off ?

Not really. Just give it all a good clean.

And be very careful when removing the sump bolts because those 2 that are a twat to get to..... really are a twat. Do those ones first.

Tip for the two hard to reach bolts - Use a 1/4inch flexi extension (the springy type thing) I found it no problem at all with one of them!

I won’t be struggling because someone else is doing the job.
