That's not a pothole. That's a sink-hole.

Hmm. A bit undecided on those light guards.

Maybe they were an option. I thought all past '99 had them. Mind you, who knows what previous owners have done.

You'll loose some in the new filter. If your piston rings are all good then it might take a while to run down into the sump. Always fill, run for a few minutes and then top off.

Up to you but clear is right for your year.

Misty tree.

Can you get a hose through an inspection plate or similar and give it a blast whilst very slowly easing the clutch in and out?
