Lidls oil sucker

Finally got around to trying out the oil sucker, minipela pump type thing from Lidl, totally useless

.
It took about 10 minutes to cover the bottom of the container, nearly ended up with blisters from the handpump, ended up doing it the old way with twice as much oily crap to clear up

Might work fine on a lawnmower, but NFG on a bongo

Perhaps the non return "flaps" were "sticking"

Hello,
Worked a treat on mine!!! No problems. Although did take a little longer than planned
Won't have to do the fluid again for a while -- so good stuff
Thanks John

I've had better

although the oil change was actually last wek, just kept forgetting to post about it
Ford Tinny - did you use yours for oil or atf? I had to use a narrower bore tube to fit down the oil dipstick than the one provided, which I think may have affected performance (size is important). I'll probably try it when i get around to doing the atf, I think the original bigger bore tubing will fit the atf dipstick hole.

Hello,
Yes Atf, Sucked it out then dropped the pan for a good clean!!!!! putting atf back in is a pain (size is important) As for engine oil i'm lucky enough to have worked in motor trade and still get free shot of ramps when needs must
Thanks john

Bite the bullet and buy a Pela - brilliant, and life is too short. Any other Bongo owners in the area willing to split cost? Several peeps have used mine, which gives me great pleasure as it should be used more than just when I need it.

I just knew I'd get a wisecrack over that one but I was too tired/lazy to add extra wording to dodge it. Trust you Bob

Twice I've looked on here to see if it was Cockney Rhyming Slang, and twice I've been distracted.
Is it Cockney Rhyming Slang?
