Thanks Michael for the comment and support 👍

Brilliant hack thanks. I've got one for you, make car ramps out of ply wood. Works great especially for low riding cars and very cheap to make just using 16mm plywood sheet. Make them as big as you want too.

[@chrismadge7292]

That’s a new one to me, well done!

[@Witty924]

Undoing the screw I was expecting oil everywhere, instead just as glugging sounds as if the engine was downing a pint haha

[@chrismadge7292]

Yep me too. How’s the 924?

[@Witty924]

@@chrismadge7292 all going well. Couple of jobs to do. Hoping to get out and about this weekend in the car for a blast. Cant wait for summer ☀️

Great little trick, I hope that isn't the hoover for the house :)

This video was a continuation of part 1, obviously, how did you clean up all the oil from the rocker cover leak? Would using a pressure washer work? Great hack by the way, if they showed us that in physics/chemistry I might have listened more!

[@Witty924]

Hi Carol, thanks for the comment. When you remove the rocker cover just use a razor blade to remove any debris stuck on the surface then rub down with scotch pad to get the surface nice and clean. Dont use any water or pressure washer. Before your remove the cover you can use brake cleaner to get rid of any oil that has leaked down the engine or a good degreaser would work well too. I remember chemistry with bunsen burners and magnesium being fun too 👍

How many watts was the hoover that was used (for an idea of the power required)?

[@Witty924]

Hi MM thanks for the comment. Just a simple Vax home Hoover that was a 1200 watts rating. Hope that helps 👍

Who would have thought it.....🤔😯👍

[@Witty924]

Great little hacks like this make our lives easier on the home driveway 👍

[@jmccutcheon788]

Was it still all good after the car was up to temp?

[@Witty924]

Thanks for the comment Janey. Everything worked a treat, no leaks and saved my new oil 👍

[@michaelgodliman436]

Did any oil go into hoover

[@Witty924]

Hi Michael, thanks for the comment and support. No hoovers were harmed in the making of this video ;). To be fair the oil is to heavy but you will get a very light spotting at the Hoover end connected to the engine. Nothing a little bit of brake cleaner can remove once finished 👍
