drain some out then, undo [not remove] the sump plug & letsome of the oil seep out not too much, idealy you want it mid way between the 2 marks, drain it in to something that will collect the oil so you can get rid for it rather then just in to a drain or the curb

Trouble was it clogged up the boost control solenoid and knocked ten bells out of the power.

DNB gave me the advice about what was wrong and the dealer sorted it without a quible. So no harm done spose

Ooooooh touchy!

I try and inject a bit of humour into the board and someone who seems to have had his humour cortex removed resorts to childish abuse.

Oh well just try and locate the sump plug and put it down to experience.
