With one of those it is possible to change the oil without having to put on overalls.👍 |

I've got a shed full of tools that will be used once or twice, most haven't been used as yet but are there if needs be |

I used to have one of these a few years ago when I had my Freelander 1. It was a godsend. Just get the oil up to temperature,pump it a few times and watch it drain. It doesn't empty the sump completely the way that removing the sump plug would but it's so easy to use that I tended to do oil changes more regularly ! |

I don't mind buying tools for a specific job because if you need to do it again it's ready and waiting and more importantly (for me anyway) even by buying a one off tool the job is still cheaper than taking it to a garage in the first place.

We are in the process of down sizing and I must admit I have been thinking with envy of people who live with minimal stuff. When we started going through everything tha stuff we had and how much we had for just in case. I am sure someone clever could work out how much that money would of earned in a bank and it would of been cheaper to hire or pay someone rather then buy stuff. We have given loads to charity shop but I bet we could still get rid of more if we was ruthless. |

More likely probably would have spent the money on something else!

Cars have got a lot more reliable so I carry no tool kit in my FL2, plus I can now afford the AA. (LR Assistance)

In the outback I carry a range of tools. But if there was something more than basic, I would be stuffed anyway!

You only ever need 1 socket set… Then lots of 10mm replacements to top it up again! |
