(G) Ryan’s First Oil Change.

Thread split as going a bit off topic .

No Oil or filter change in a year Ryan .

oh thatnks for the reminder, where is the page in haynes telling you how to do an oil change?

Is that the one that reads, "Get a 12MM Sump key"?

yesss.. i went got my filter and a bowl... come back and see how to undo it sumplug... think 'right its an allen key' phone my step dad as mine were in the house not in my tool box, get them and go 'oh bugger, i dont have one big enough!' then pack up and wait till tomorrow

You’ll be lucky to shift the sump plug with an Allen key .

I’d recommend a sump key. They look a lot like bottom right of this http://www.fiatforum.com/attachment....3&d=1103475546

Either way, good Luck .

louie's been telling me off for just asking him my questions because i'd account for most of the questions here if i posted.

where do i get one of these sumplug keys then? and how much am i looking at?

This is kind of true. I feel I’m being greedy answering you’re Uno questions over MSN. Time to give everyone else a chance .

They should be available from any good motor factor and cost only a few £.

Keep em' coming Ryan .

so you dont feel greefy answering them all on FF? anywho i got a key now... didnt have a sunplug key so i was given an allen key, told it would be fine as its a perfect fit... go figure

Calm down Ryan . This way everyone else gets the chance to read about you’re issues. Even if I do answer most of you’re questions, others may well give better advice than me .

I said you’d be lucky to shift the plug with an Alan key . I never said Allen keys don’t fit .

Just put a bit of pipe on the end of the allen key, thats what I do and it works every time. Or just hit the allen key with a rubber hammer when its in the plug

Of course things dont rust over here like they do in England so it maybe different for you guys.

my sumplug isnt rusted so with any luck it will be fine its big enough to get a nice big adjustable spanner on anyways

riiiggghhhtttt.....my sumplug aint comming out for ****, i put a foot long wrench on the allen key and pulled with all my might but it aint budging...

think its time to take it to a garage and let them break it...

the answer to life the universe and everything is plusgas. Although you'd have thought a sump plug would be quite well lubricated.

Failing that you need a 50cm 1/2 inch socket wrench with an allen key attachment. Becareful with the thread though

You were saying...?
H

what, i took it to the garage, he got a 2 foot poll on it and hay presto one non-rusty sumplug out... no worries
