As you know Management's daily driver is a Fiat Panda diesel, well another 5,000 miles has slipped under it's wheels since the last Fiat Dealer service at the end of May 07.
So time for an Oil change :



Except the garage Monkeys at Antony Betts Fiat in Hemel Hempstead where it went to get it's warranty stamp have way over tightened the nylon oil filter housing and stripped one of the guard bolts



It say's on the housing tighten to 20 n/m, well it took a 27mm socket on the top and two oil filter wrenches all being pulled at the same time to get the bugger undone ( did I mention I must be Ambydextrust ? ).

Roadkill

Yes you are and the only reason it went there was to have a new fuel hose fitted due to a re-call by Fiat at the same time
