Advent Baby Bottle
|
After
gaing access to the gearbox dipstick, I realised putting the oil in
would be tricky due to the space restrictions. Had a quick hunt around
the garage, went in to the house & asked the wife if she had a small
bottle/contatiner. The best she came up with was a plastic takeaway
tray.
Then I spotted exactly what I needed, so when she had disappeared I
grabbed it. An Advent 125ml baby's bottle (I am sure the little fellow
would not mind he has plenty). It was perfect & even has ml's &
fl oz's on the side so you can tell how much you have put in.
Saves splashing out on the expensive pouring jug sets.
