Middle isle? :D do you know how much they are?
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Just looked on line, £12.99. People seem to like them. :thumbsup:

Dead centre of the store! I didn't put the price as I wasn't sure I'd remembered it right (thought it said a tenner!)

Yes, £9.99 but the offer ran out on the 28th Feb. Shame, it was a bargain and good youtube vids of it being used. Looks like they have them from time to time so I will keep my eyes open. :thumbsup:

It’s worth checking your local store. I.don’t think mine has any left, but they didn’t seem to be very popular. Stock that is left over goes into a discount bin or gets sent to a specific bargains store n the area

I got fed up trying to get the sump plug off without getting oil all over my drive and on the undercarage courtesy of the stupid little oil flap. So got one from ebay and it works really well. Just have to remember to get the engine nice and hot before sucking it out, although this also applies to the traditional oil up the sleeve method.

Thought I got it from ebay but looking at my orders its not on there so could be from Amazon. Think most of them are the same generic type with a range of suction pipe sizes.

Just looked on ebay and there are a load of them around £40/£45 which is a hell of a lot more that what I think I would have paid.

Had a look in our Torquay Lidl tonight and none left, I don’t need it yet so I will wait and keep an eye out for them as judging by the internet they have them quite often. Many thanks for your help. :thumbsup:
