God dammit!!

[Stoo]

Picked up my XE a few weeks ago and left it in the boot till i got round to doing anything with it!

Just gone to gt it out and its fallen over, previous owner left the oil in!!!

Wheel well is about 1/3 full of black oil!! plus the drivers side rear seat, th ceurved part of the body beneath it is full of it too!!

Any suggestions to get rid of it all???

[Philsutton]

you have bung holes in the floor, and the wheel well, just pop them through an watch it drain out. Apart from that have fun

[Stoo]

just popped them out and drained it away just sprayed it with gunk and im gonna rinse and DRY thoroughly in a while!!

Dunno bout the one under the seat thouygh!!

[Philsutton]

they have holes in the floor all the way through, they are just covered by sound deadener, so you should be able to get the stuff under the seat the same way. Just going to be a pain

[Stoo]

specially with the seats and carpet still in!!! eeeek

[Philsutton]

lol sorry shouldnt laugh but thats quite funny, errrmm maybe a change of carpet would be on the cards then

[Stoo]

its all getting stripped and fully rebuilt with rally style interior anyway so carpets no probs but still!!

I have a pool of oil i am stuck with ATM!!

[burgo]

sounds like a bludi good excuse to strip it to me

[Stoo]

as ive now discovered the rear seats and all the carpet are pretty much fucked, adbolutely saturated in oil

Im in the process of ripping them out

Findins some lil rust spots too :(

Might grind off the brackets while im at it

Oh and word of advice peeps!! Dont try lifting an XE on ur own!! I did it but fook me was it hard!!!
