Excellent work.

I expect you've got a mugen cover because you're in Sweden. I worked in Stockholm for a bit, it was the coldest I've ever been.

Fancy cleaning mine? only Joking.

Car went in for service at a main dealers, and the morons forgot to refit the oil filler cap, before sending my wife on her merry way. Oil everywhere including my driveway!

Have to say though once I got on the phone to them they sent someone out with a replacement cap and some oil. They are also picking the car up to clean the engine bay, as well as valeting it inside & out.

Stupid mistake for them to make in the first place, but at least they've done the right thing without me having to resort to threats.

You can buy a product which will remove oil stains from tarmac and paved drives now Dave and it won't melt the tarmac.

I presume they gave you a new 710?

Toluene, is what is generally used to remove oil from tarmac and concrete.

My blokes use a product which can only be obtained through the trade, so will go with you on that one Tom. Iv'e seen a well known brand in B & Q.

Jack the lad - Many thanks but if theres anything to clean up, the dealers doing it.

FWH - I'll have to check the part no and get back to you.
