Completed the engine swop on the girlfriends Clio, drained whats left of the oil in the replacement engine. renewed filters etc.

Started topping up with nice new oil, regularly checking dipstick, thought to myself this takes a lot of oil to regester on it.

Looked underneath and yep, I left the sump plug off


£25 later A hard lesson learnt

Reminds me of a mate topping up the oil in his punto gearbox.

"Hmmmm....this is taking quite a lot....." he says, as we look over to him he's only gone and filled up the bell housing through the wrong hole!! Tit!
