Ok about time I started a couple of service items so decided to change the oil tonight.
Step 1 find the old oil can and remove the sump plug. Ahh can't get the sump plug out....
Step 2 look around the garage for a bit, find a box with the last of the home brew. Start drinking beer.

Sump plug still stuck...... but don't care now.......

OK now my head has cleared, any suggestions on removing a stuck sump plug. Left overnight with WD40. Trying to resist the urge to just try brute force

A bit of direct heat may help???

I can see Uncle Alberts diary is open by the phone and ready

Maybe another beer will help

Umm beer last night might be red tonight. Now where is that big hammer

There must be a better way to open a bottle of plonk.

Ahh problem solved, bigger hammer did the trick. Now more beer as curry has just arrived

I like this unhurried approach to vehicle maintenance.

OK sump plug out, etc... Now time to change filter. Ahhhh after finally changing the engine mounts from the old design made of cheese access with the alternator under the carbs is restricted.... OK should have just given in and removed the alternator, but after much time and stress filter changed. Doing a quick check and "what's that wire hanging off the back of the alternator?" Yep alternator off to recrimp cable..... Sometimes I just love working on my car
