ticking -> oil change -> ticking stops -> wee

This weekend I tried the 'change the oil to stop the 5 minute warm up tappet tick' trick and it immediately worked!  

Unfortunately I hadn't screwed the oil filter on properly and was rewarded with an expensive, semi-synthetic wee all over the floor.

Fortunately, I had wheeled it out of the garage first  :lol:

…on further inspection it turned out I'd snagged one of the rubber flaps behind the radiator under the oil filter seal  :roll: All working (and quieter) now.  Wasted nearly 2 litres of oil tho  :x
