So my son has bought himself an old MX5 as his second car and he loves it - so much so that he is actually keen to do some work on it. So I thought I'd do some father/son bonding and show him how to change the oil (small steps).
But could I do even that?
The car is too low to get underneath for the sump plug but I just couldn't get it up in the air. The jacking points are fairly small and I couldn't get my axle stands on them without risking damaging the plastic sills.
Then, I couldn't get the car to drive up my ramps - I had to do it slowly because the front overhang was very close to hitting the ramp but going slowly meant my ramps just slid forward on my gravel driveway.
So that went well...
