Hello everyone!
I don't know if I should admit to this but where is the sump plug on the bis (please don't laugh) :$. I think its next to the bottom hose opposite the fan but I don't want to undo something and then think why did I mess.
I can't keep driving around and not change the oil. :$ :$

Thanks for that but in what area do I find it (Im not being lazy, I just can't find it) :$
-
There you go ;D

Phew I was right then. Thanks for that, embarrassment over! Well not quite,Im not gonna live that down now am I :$ :D
PS (yes I should start a new topic but) a question on the roof linning, how can I get it to stay up (don't snigger) any suggestions?
Once again Thanks.

I wasn't being funny, I am not a Bis person.
Roof lining best thing to do is to remove the hole thing, it is easy to remove. Then re-stick out of the car.

It is impossible to get the headlining to stay up as the board has sagged. So as soon as you push it up, it simply pops down again. As suggested by Dajwid, the best thing is the remove it and replace it for a new one. Just remove unscrew the three plastic grommets at the rear end of the lining. Once you have unscrewed them, simply pull it out gently via the hatch. This could be quite tricky and may result in you damaging the headlining board. Try to keep it in tact as you will need it as a template. Just look what i did to mine. Click on the link below. Good luck!

No worries Dajwid. Oh and by the way that engine of yours Pete126 looks to good to get dirty.
I had a look at your headlining Amateb8 and its realy cool. I remember now seeing your post, I take it its still holding fast.

Yes it is still in place. The reason being the design of the orange material means it can only sag on one side because on one side there are rectangular perforation (for tiling purposes, I believe). Also I added almost an inch of material along the side of the headlining (outside the template, so loose folded material), so the excess material slid into the metal crevice (frame) running along the inside. I installed the headlining to try it on for size without the adhesive - it fit perfectly with no sagging at all!
I did not install sound deadening material before installing the headlining but I think it works fine without it.
Do not forget to put back the plastic screws/grommets.
Good luck!
