I am making this post because my Stag has just passed it's Spanish MOT (at the second attempt) and I have been out celebrating. It failed at the 1st attempt yesterday because it dripped oil on the Examiner's head & he wasn't too chuffed about it! Draining some oil out of the sump, and adding some Spanish "stop leak" fluid to the oil solved the problem and everything is now O.K. for another Year's motoring around the roads of Tenerife.

Always to be seen in greasy overalls clutching spanner

Exhibits hunted expression, wondering where disaster will strike next

Forever pricking up ears trying to pick up hissing noises, rattles from timing chains and clunks from transmission

Drones on about Stag oblivious the blank expression of disinterested companions and groans from SWMBO.

Secretive, possessing much cunning concealing real expense of Stag from SWMBO

Continuously suggesting Stag as mode of transport oblivious to the effect on SWMBO's hairstyle

Terry, I agree with most things on your post but not this one, if my stag had given me more emotions than anything else, then I would need to get out more.

To Rogerk - I use a Garage called "Mend It Motors" to take my car through its local MOT. The Owner/Chief Mechanic is an English guy called Bruce, and he put the "oil additive" in after it had failed first time. It is a Spanish product he says that gets the gaskets (eg. sump gasket) to expand & stop any leakage and he says it is very good.
He told me next time I do an oil change to put a can of this stuff in with the new oil.
Anyway after draining some oil out of the sump, then running the engine with this additive in - it didn't leak like it did before and passed when taken back to the Testing Station.

To IanB - I was using a bit of poetic license in the comment you refer to - but I have had my Stag 15 years now and you can go through an awful lot of emotions in 15 years of running a Stag and maintaining it mostly yourself. In my younger days I did get out quite a lot and could tell a tale or two - but which would be embarrasing both to myself and others (and I am talking the fairer sex here). I shudder at the thought of some of the things I and my mates used to get up to in the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

Terry.
Is that decades or age?

I would definately agree with the above!

• Wish I had bought one years ago.
