Re: [T3] oil drain plug

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

I prefer to undo the small nuts rather than the large one.  Some of
mine have it and others don't.  I take the two far acorn nuts off,
loosen the middle two half way, then undo the near ones just enough
to let the oil flow into the collector as the plate tilts.  Not very
messy at all.
