Replaced drop arm ball joint and overhauled passenger side swivel housing. Neither without incident, it was a punishing 12 hr shift!

Is there not another drain plug on the engine, behind the alternator, that requires removal of alternator to access. This will allow you to drain the full 13 litres.

That was what, 4+ weeks ago? I've still got well ove ... |

Another vote for Latitude Cross.
