    I've used a fumoto for years without an undertray without any problems so no need to worry...Its a bloody fantastic little widget and I am sooo glad i don't ever have to faff with the sump plug anymore. There's a pic on here somewhere of what was left of mine

        I've got a Fumoto fitted as well - great little gadget. You can buy them with an extra circular clip so you're 100% it's not going to open accidentally.

              Once you have fitted a new sump plug and do it up the right torque, I have had no problems since changing my oil regularly...

                Me neither, on four seperate 20V engines (Though two of them needed a breaker bar for the first oil change that I did!).

                I did subsequently do six monthly oil+filter changes though, and always applied a little copper grease to the sump plug thread before refitting which I reckon helps.

                An 6-point hex ring or combination spanner is a good investment too, if you haven't got one already.

                  Fumoto valve suppliers for the UK - www.quickvalve.co.uk

                  Brand new a little over £25.00 delivered.

                  You will never have any problems with another oil change again, mine arrived last week so i need to pull my finger out and get it fitted.

                  Excellent piece of kit and as stated in previous post there is a safety clip option available.
                  84 WR with an extra 10 valves.
