Speed 6 / Tamora Servicing
Discussion
As I'm working on the car, I'm doing a partial service (fluids, plugs, filters). I'll post up pics when I'm done if anyone is interested.
Quick Q's:
How much oil does the Tamora need (6ltr?)
As it's my first dry sumped motor, the tank is the only thing that needs draining of oil as the engine doesn't retain any oil?
How much brake fluid to fully flush the system?
Any help appreciated, seems to be very little info about. Surely some owners must service their cars and freshen things up between garage 'stamped' services.

You need to buy Graham's manual.
I don't have a spare £56 for a bible at present (thought it'd be cheaper than that...think Haynes).
I only have 2 questions if anyone is feeling charitable enough.
Do you only drain the oil from the oil tank (not the sump or where the oil tank meets to sump)
Where is the fuel filter located?

Grahmas manual is better than a Haynes manual!, this tells you how to improve the car as well not just take it apart, take a look at it via his profile, well worth the £56 when you get some spare dollar. I only have 2 questions if anyone is feeling charitable enough.

FYI the fuel filter is behind the rear PS wheel next to the charcoal can (its the silver thing). Watch those knuckles it can be an arse to remove. Not sure on the oil question but I guess you can remove as little or as much as you want (there is a plug on the sump) thus if you take 7 litres out put 7 back if you take 10 put 10 back... I got a bill for 7 litres from Str8six on the last service.
Shep
Thanks again guys,
That'll see me through the ff. Ordered a litre of Super Blue Dot 4 (used in my old track car...great stuff) to bleed brakes. Does anyone know the bleed point for the clutch while I'm at it?
Only thing left will be the oil. When you say there is a drain point on the sump, is that where the oil feed pipes (and returns) meet the sump, front right on the engine or somewhere else?
I'm going to have to guess the oil level, will know roughly the amount, so far it's what's in the oil tank and filter.

Have you looked under the car yet? All these questions about the sump and clutch would easily be answered by a quick look.That'll see me through the ff.

True,
I've been under the car yes. I take it the clutch bleed point is accessed from underneath then?
I wanted to know if there is another point (only been under the front end really) to drain the sump, the point at the front right of the sump where the oil pipes attach has a large drain bolt but this is siezed and I don't want to force something that's a red herring.
I'm almost there, no more annoying questions!

If anyone cares to know, the oil bleeding is done from 3 places. 1 on the oil tank, 1 point where the tank meets the sump and one drivers side front on the sump itself (got to angle the car/tilt) to get the oil flowing.
