I found the t45 was looseish on my C, gave it a full turn with a standard ratchet (not even getting the breaker bar out) and long behold bits of the plug fall on my face.
I though it was because the plug was plastic but maybe its because it was torqued too tight. Id love to get a standard hex nut replacement sump like NORMAL cars have
currently when i do oil changes im using a siphoning pump down the dipstick, its not fool proof and i dont like doing it but i need to do something to change the oil.
I had half a mind to take it to a shop to get the thing drilled out and a standard one put in, no idea where to go on the coast though, all the mechanics around here are either Midas or ultra tune, and i dont fancy paying for a 14 year old boy with a power tool to get near my z18xeThe one on my Corsa has been perfect, I have a small rachet only about 9cm long that I usually just reach one arm under twist it and it cracks nice and easy. I should have known though with the Astra that when it wasn't enough and I had to get a 30cm bar out it wasn't going to end well even though I was being really careful.
Looks good man! I have been saying for ages I want to get a dash cam. I might just bite the bullet soon and get one for the Astra. It will also help me make sure I don't develop too much of a lead foot with it.Installed a dash cam in the Vectra the other day. It seems to be a trend on the increase plus I just can't get over the number of close calls I've had lately with cars who's drivers just don't bother to look both ways and pull out at you. It only cost me $60 on eBay for a front and rear system and whilst the picture isn't fantastic, it'll help if I am unlucky one day.
