• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    What's the correct oil capacity for a 1330 motor?

    I recently did an oil change on my 2016 F3 Ltd I checked the handbook and the workshop manual, and it spec'd 4.7 litres with filter, so that's what it got. I don't try to check with the dipstick as I find dry sump engines a little fluky to check. Anyway, a punter comes over for an oil change...
