Do you all have a magnetic sump plug?
If you don’t there is a really simple way of creating one.
There is what you need:

1 x hard disk from a PC (The older the better because the magnets have been reduced in size to save money)
Open the casing and remove the “Actuator”

Underneath it you will discover that it has a very strong “rare earth” magnet.

Put the actuator in a vice and use a fine chisel, or screwdriver to separate the magnet from the Actuator.

Take great care with the magnet and don’t put it near anything electronic – don’t put it near anything metal as you may find that your fingers get nipped.

Fitting: Place the magnet on your sump plug and that’s it!

When you next change your oil just look at the “crud” that is on the sump plug.

If you don’t have access to a PC Hard disk, I can supply these magnets for the cost of postage.
