Checked the oil last night then spent the next hour fixing the bonnet release mechanism as the bonnet refused to shut :sad1:

Fixed with plenty of WD40 and Grease  :jumpmove:

Depends on if you like brand new items. 2nd hand will prob have a few marks on etc but will save abit on cash. I havnt done anything like it before. Took just over 1 hour. But its just connecting the tubes and making sure its all the correct way and tight  :happy2:
