    check the oil while filling it, as the engine won't drain completely. Don't just lash 3.2 litres in there.

    And when you do fill it, start the engine and let it run for a minute or so to allow the oil filter to fill with oil (assuming you changed it). Then dip the oil again and top up as necessary.

    And make sure you don't walk away from the car while the engine is ticking over. One chap I heard about forgot to put the sump bung back in and he walked away to do something while he was letting it tick over. Engine seized up:rolleyes:
