Turns out there wasn't even enough oil in the sump to get more than 1/4" up the dipstick. That along with not being able to get the plug out the sump meant I just filled up with fresh. Hopefully there isn't some horrible leak and everything will be fine...
I've been itching to pimp the car up with the dump valve whistler so set to it the other night. 1st took the tailpipe and silencer off with a bit of persuasion. Then as the tailpipe wasn't a nice straight shape, loped a bit off with a hacksaw. Slid the whistler in, fixed it in place and hey presto it sound just like you've got dump valves for that authentic race sound...well that's the theory. In practice all I've now got is an exhaust that constantly whistles, liable to attract all dogs in the area. It's probably also doing horrible things to the efficiency of the engine by restricting the flow of exhaust gasses. I guess it's the price you have to pay for sounding great?
Finally, decided to get hold of some red paint, pop some of the detail out of the dash and add a bit of stylish flair by picking it out in red...hopefully pictures to follow tomorrow of the interior in it's glory.
On a slightly more boring practical note I've fixed the cigarette lighter and fitted the clutch pedal back on after it fell off on the way to work the other day.
