Re: Magnetic engine sump plug

Re: What car is this?

Don't push 'em, hold in position hooked under three of the bumps with one hand and give 'em a firm slap where the fourth bump is with the other. Works every time.

Re: I dunno, it seems safe enough to me...

Mmm, yes, and on re-examination, it does rather look as if one of the gas bottles might also be missing its warning label. That being the case, the local Health and Safety official might want a word with them.
