I was not prepared for the Toyota Albion's, Catholic nun's toosh torque settings

Oil and filter change. 15min Quick and easy, 1hr later....

Tried yanking it off, by hand. Hmm... Did not work
That's okay, I got a tool for this. Snapped the rubber belt in half...
Okay that is rather tight
Pierced the screw driver. Snapped the screw driver
Much larger screw driver through both ends with extension finally did it

The oil plug was so tight I had to use a chisel to get the old gasket off

Behold:

That's shocking on a nearly new car, no excuse.

not as bad... but I wonder if Machimoto factory employs sumo-fighters to tighten oil filters by hand :oops:

Got told off today for always referring to the central locking button in the tailgate as the clitoris lock.

And the missus pointed out that at least I'd taken the time to learn how to reliably lock the car.
What an appropriate name for that button. I still haven't found that one yet. All I do is press unlock

Reactions: Gyp
Put in an order at Tegiwa for the TRD front splitter and side skirts :p

Probably Tom's wing later, once I can find someone who can paint it for me.
