How Oily

Yes, bumper off to remove the intercooler.

It is such a stupid, stupid design!

Got to take the wheels off to get at the arch bolts

. He dosn't know the length of the driveshafts though
It's not a big job ,.

Yes I do!

..one is 8mm longer than the other...

Do you still need me to measure them for you?

Yes please, I need to know your length

Right, ive only got an offside one with me at home, and its 710mm long.

Can't remember if its the longer or shorter of the two until I measure the other..

Thanks Dave , the one I've got here is 723 mm

Thanks Dave , the one I've got here is 723 mm

If it's 8mm longer then it can only be 718mm.... Are you sure your tape measure isn't wrong

Just file a few mm off

Stupid ,stupid french The intercooler very nearly comes out but not quite
Had to take 3/4 of the bumper off , left it attached on the off side.
There's a fair old amount of oil ,though it's not dripping with it .

How many litres of oil did you pour out?
Will you be adding a drain cockerel to save taking the bumper off next time?

If it is any consolation the Lexus has 10 bolts 2 nuts and 11 clips to get the rear bumper off, anly 2 were rusted and broke off. I sealed all the fixing holes and put the bumper back on .... but water still gets into the boot wheel well. Shorty Japs are probably not tall enough to see into the boot any way.

You just edited that 3rd line into the post.......

Sorry Simon
I've givin it a good old fill of parafin and left to soak ...........................

Well if nothing poured out, it can't have been that bad.
