Good old fashioned open bonnet check oil level using a dipstick none of that trying to remember how to work out the electronic oil level. Makes you feel as though could be a car mechanic.

changed the timing belt and tensioner - on the T5 v70, nice and easy - although I do wish one day I could do a timing belt and look at the old one and not think it looked fine !!!

Plus I did a transmission sump dump and refill - good day all in all.
