    take the oil filler cap off then get under the car and undo the sump plug with an 8mm sump plug tool!

    undo the plug on your oil sump with a spanner or adjustable, oil will drain out via gravitation pull

    Jack the car up mate. Then undo the oil cap then under the car these a nut undo that to draine oil . Use an old bucket mate other the oil gona go evary where lol. Then put bolt back in. take the axle stands off then top up your oil . I'd change oil filter two . Good luck

    normally do the oil filter last once all the oil is drained. use an extension bar if you cant undo the sump plug

    just applied a load of wd40... tried moving it with a adjustable and a 24mm socket... and nothing it absolutly solid! is it worth going to buy a stump plug tool ??

    Its rounding it off more than anything and i dont want to do that... I THINK it moved abit but i tried again and its still stuck! And Im scared incase the car comes off the jack/stands if I pull to hard! lol

    Make sure you have jack the up good .if you've got spare wheel or tyre put them under incase it does fall off your be ok . Make sure the sockit is the right fit . Get a spanner and a sleg little hammer and hit the spaner at the same time you can see if the nut moves .

    i couldnt undo it for ages, went to halfords and bought the 8mm or 3/8 sump plug tool and it worked wonders!

    Update for all you haters! well yes im not a mechanic.. Im a sprayer... Outside of the car I Know best!

    I do know all the basic mechanic things but limited on tools! My manifold snapped the other week... (mk2) and I had a spare mk1 manifold... so I did that ok... that was a bit of a pain in the ass... due to start the job at 6pm!

    The only reason I had trouble today is 'cause I havnt got much of my tools... My brothers nicked them to go drag racing...

    But Ive been next door, Borrowed a big wrench and a 24mm socket and jobs gooden!

    Everything seems fine up to now... just polishing it up now, making the most of the sun!

    Cheers guys!

    it's going from a dull maroon colour to an ivory white. i don't mind the waiting so much it's the sanding down between coats that got on my nerves when i started out!
