I have already posted quite a few questions about brakes, ignition warning light etc and am slowly working my way through the problems.
My car starts and drives and has an MOT but it has hardly been used for the last 7 years apart from trips to the MOT !!
As a matter of routine I have started on routine servicing, changed oil and filter today and air filter. The gear change was not too smooth and so decided to start with the easy bit and change the gearbox oil. It should have 1 and 3/4 pints. I drained the oil when it was warm and let it drip for 30 mins, after which time I had drained the grand total of 3/4 of a pint !!
It has made quite a difference have clean oil and the correct amount.
Tomorrow I am going to tackle new rear discs and pads.
I know lots of you like pics so I will post a couple in the next day to two. Nothing to get too excited about though, it is just a standard 2000.
