Stand the oil in a bowl of hot water beforehand and it'll only take you 10. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

I've heard that sitting on your hand for 10 mins makes it feel like someone else is doing it.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
I don't want to jinx anything but I might have finally fixed the 914 in time for the last race of the season at harewood.
Full test drive tomorrow will reveal if I actually have or not....

Incredibly not, despite thoroughly cleaning the whole underside and taking advice from The Great Sage of the Lakes for a likely source, all looked absolutely fine.....brembo wrote:Darren65 wrote:Went hunting for leaks......
Find any Darren?
......although something tells me the leak hasn't healed itself!

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
I'm not convinced it would be much easier to just take out the gearbox even if you've done the modification
I suppose you've got no engine oil to drain and a few less pipes to disconnect - I'd have thought it would be a bit fiddly though
Happy to be corrected

The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just backdated yeah

Taking it out is easy, getting it back in however....
