Cheers mate, he was past his sell by date though, you had to prod him to see if he was still breathing each morning. He'd had a good innings, 128 in dog years

Could clear a room with his breath though...

I average that, but only because I go home on low loaders, which I suppose saves on fuel.

Once it goes black after track use it's nice to change it as burnt oil doesn't work so well, but until then, no need.

If you're doing the KH session, four hours will make it black, so best change afterwards ... best not do it in the paddock though or you won't be popular

Cheers,

I've done 6 trackdays at KH in the 4.3k miles and the oil is still clean. probably not trying enough

Will probably change the oil and filter myself so everything is tip top for TT2007. I think MMC use Mobil 1 as standard so I'll research cheapest source. What about filters/sump plug washers, from MMC? Cheers Clark

Where's the carrot fit in?

Do you need to take both trays off or just the centre. Will a web strap filter wrench take the oil filter off or is it a screwdriver through it job? After fitting the 2bular zaust if I take the rear off again I'll screammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
