There's air in there and if it's been sat for a while with temperature fluctuations , condensation occurs . I always feel it benefits from a bit of a warm up .Quote:

Got any insightful hints or tips to help me along ?
I buy oil in bulk (20lt. drums) from Opie Oils - their sales guy posts on a number of forums (including SWB) as “Oilman” to advise of any special offers they have and as stated previously I do the same and decant into 5lt containers to administer it. An old empty 20lt drum is useful for collecting old oil and periodically taking it to the tip for recycling.
Sure do - get someone else to test ride it when you've done it.Quote:

Only thing that I've bought from there was 3 plugs.
I hadn't considered that....Quote:
