Griffith on hard shoulder of M11

[Lone Star]

I saw you ( number plate reads Loud ) presumably broken down at approximately 3pm. I couldn't stop due to the fact I was in the outside lane overtaking at the time. I hope whatever was wrong, was quickly sorted.

That was me!
My Chimeara decided to spill all its oil for some reason!
My first spot on PH too ha ha.

The sump plug by any chance?

I truly hope so.
Quite common apparently???

So I believe. They are hex, about a 27-30 mm socket IIRC.
They protrude, so you can start to unwind them on speed humps.
Only a matter of time before the oil pressure completes the job.
You can get a round one that takes a large Allen key spanner to stop it happening again.
