I was thinking that, but someone just PM'd me that Kwik Fit have a piece of kit they use to take some out from the top
I'll give it a go, if it dry's up tomorrow, cheers Marcus.

HHHMMM please tell me how you are going to get oil out the top of the engine when the oil sit,s in the sump, you say that its 5mm over the max mark, the best way of geting oil out and it will take you 5min,s to do so is from the sump!!! for it to be over by 5mm you have about 1 or 2 lt,s more than you should have!!

no its not a mucky job mate, you will be ok, just get the sump nut 2 or 3 turn,s and the oil should start to come out ( what ever you do dont take the nut all the way out, or you will get mucky lol) then just do it back up when you got some oil out....

Lee you should of popped over to see my brother, he has one of the suction kits that kwik fit use and they take it out of the dip stick hole by sliding a pipe down it and then they pump it out using a vacuum pump, great bit of kit and saves getting dirty CLICK ME! And it gets nearly all the oil out of the sump :thumbup1:
