Just been up to the car to remove a pipe for someone on ebay.

n thought I will get the sump off but that front left bolt behind the aircon pump is a b*****d, only 1 left holding it on.

n it had 6litres of oil in it hahaha.

I need to jack the engine up to get in with a deap socket. Iv got all the other bolts out I believe.

Hahaha, shes been asking for ages, iv been teaching her for 16months(shes a great driver but no confidence)
N she has just gone for her first lesson with a real instructor last saturday n second tomorrow, so im hopeing I wont be teaching her for much longer.

n she wont be driving my car for a few years yet, she can keep the corsa. On her first lesson her instructor said that I should be an instructor because of how good a driver marie is. Which was nice.
