With the huge amount of "FAIL" going on in this thread, are you turning the sump bung if the right direction?

OK...........monumental EPIC FAIL coming up.............
car the car slipping off the jacks twice, I decided the oil filter was the best way to get oil out.....couldn't get that off either....so i decided to syphon some oil out.....that actually worked!!!
I was chuffed!
.........................so chuffed that I managed to forget to put the oil cap on...............
drove it 40 miles with oil spewing out the top...............
Got to the garage with no problems though wchich was lucky.
I opened it up to find a cloud of burning oil smoke and the oil cap where i left it........not a happy bunny.
I then clsoed her up and put my keys through the letterbox of Kent VW....withouot locking my door..................great night out.
Hopefully it will be cleaned and refilled today....if it hasn't been stolen.
FAIL.

You know if you open the passenger door, reach over and push down the driver's lock you can then close the locked passenger door, right?

I feel it's only a matter of time until Darwin acts on you.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Wow! What a thread and thanks for making my Friday, that was some unbeatable epric failure going on there! I thought that my Bro In Law was the only petrolhead not allowed near a cars engine and other areas.

Good luck for all future issues and please feel free to post them up with pictures! Brilliant!

Do just one more job on your car, then give up!
