Depends on the filter orientation as to if I fill them before hand or not always try and get a bit of something in prior to spinning over.

Discovered the fitty-dolla-Deere is a bit oily.

Yeah, that's a little bit much smoke, even by my standards.

Oil pan gasket has had it

I saw that on the M4, heading east near Newbury/Reading way yesterday morning. Couldn't work out what it was, passing on the opposite side of the motorway, we were both on the inside lane, towing so, going slow enough to have a good look.
Glad I know what it was now.

Same here. On the rare occasions they are fitted the right way up I fill them first.

P/X the 206 CC for a 56 plate Nissan Note 1.4 petrol in doom blue. Bought it from an Asian lad who "wasn't" associated with the car sales we were parked outside in Osset in any way. Didn't honestly get much less than I was going to put it up for on the beige, but obviously with far less hassle. So the Note has non working horn and heater (missed that on the test drive), but I may have failed to mention the 206's "interesting" electrical problems.

Overall Mrs BMH seems happy.

Followed this guy. He's on the beige but his name escapes me.

I bought a traditional dymo if anyone needs any switch labels priting for their old motors.

Is that to stick on your forehead as a warning to other people?
