Fiona changed the oil and wired up the sensor for the Oil Temp gauge today.... for the type r, on her own
Started off a few weeks ago being a bit negative... saying 'i cant do it... i cant loosen it etc' without even trying...
Finally i think i made her understand what tools were invented for and she gave it a pop today

I wasnt there to supervise.... so no.
I will prob check when i get home though.... as i'm going to give it a coolant change, and prob new plugs.
What is so different about changing the oil on an impreza, compared to a lada? I dont understand folk that say i'd never do x on car y. An engine is just basically an engine.

because i'd be scared i'd ruin it, chewed the sump thread out of my corsa while doing an oil change, because i over tightended it
