After 50 years of doing it the hard way, I've eventually succumbed to the modern practice of pumping the old oil out thru the dip-stick tube, rather than lying underneath and wrestling with under-trays.
I saw a pump for about a tenner at Lidl.
Went back for it a couple of days later ... Sold out.
So - I unwisely looked on Amazon and found a German one for 12.99 + delivery.
Bought it .... It was delivered in good time and looked good.
Unfortunately, it was worthless.
It wouldn't pump at all - Even after priming it with the oil can.
The supplier's response ..... Throw it away.
Now trying to get my refund.
Ok ... Lesson learned ... Fingers burned ... Time wasted !!!
So guys ..... Your recommendations please.
I'm only looking to do about 2 oil changes a year (2 cars).
This is not for regular commercial use.
Do Euro Car Parts do one at an affordable price ?
I've trawled their web-site and not seen one.
Thanks in advance.
