Hi

I have a griffith and have unfortunately overfilled my engine oil by about 2 cm above the dipstick full mark (and this is when the engine is cold). I have the option of taking it to TVR Fix who I usually go to for servicing etc but as suctioning out the excess oil is not going to take very long I was wondering if anyone knows of a place closer to home that is decent enough to trust this fairly straight forward task with? Oh and gave Austec a call but they can't do it until next week and was hoping to get it sorted tomorrow (friday).

Thanks in advance
Lawrence

Ah well A) I am really not DIY/mechanical minded and B) I dont have a garage just roadside parking space.

Hi Laz,

I used the Classic Car Company (Incorrigible on here) earlier this year and they seemed very good - they're not too far away either.
