I'm having a terrible afternoon, but that's a longer story.
What contributed is that I thought it would be a good time to change the oil on my wife's Discovery 1 V8 this afternoon, right after getting home from work.
Well, I can't get the damn drain plug off. I don't even have the right tool to remove it, and I have tons of tools. I'm not even 100 percent sure it IS the oil drain plug...big one in the worst possible place they could have put it? RIght next to the exhaust pipe, facing sideways?
I've never done the oil on this car before (her dad usually did it, but he's way too busy right now) and am thoroughly annoyed that I never even got the drain plug off.
What size is the little bastard so I can get a proper 6-point on there? I attempted to remove it with a crescent wrench (I know, I know...) and it started to round off. Forget it. I need the right tool.
walk a newb through a Disco oil change please...gawd I feel so helpless. I changed the timing belt on my car and I can't even change the oil on hers!!!
