yeah thanks Markcro, luckily this car is a project not a daily runner so I have not needed to drive it hence taking my time!

yup, the oil pickup seemed fine although I never removed the baffle plate to check which is one thing I regret not doing
it looked ok and I gave it a tug and it seemed solid plus no visual damage so...

thanks green_rs13, yeah so i took the plunge today and started it literally for a couple of seconds. Thankfully the oil light went out straight away. I stopped it immediately though as i heard a loud...

yeah easily done i think markcro, from what I've seen this isn't an exact science! (details in this thread: https://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread....ter-oil-change)

was thinking of just undoing the pan bolt so that a little drips out and then retightening...

Hi Chris

Pan is back on, I used the Sealpro Black RTV in the end as the oem stuff was really hard to get out of the tube
Everything torqued up ok except the last bolt so went easy on that and eventually went...
