    Time to change the Tona's oil.
    5lts of oil, new filter, filter wrench, torque wrench, crush washers - check.
    Engine nice and warm - check.
    Removed sump bolt, had a cup of tea. Time to whip off the old filter, bit of oil wiped around the new filter ready to go. Have this done in no time!
    Except the wrench is too big for the old filter, which means the new filter is also the wrong size! Cue frantic ordering of the correct filter and wrench..... Hope Postie delivers it tomorrow.
    Anybody want a new, still sealed Hiflo 191 filter and a 67mm filter wrench??

    Hey Andy - that will fit my Daytona T595 - how much do you want and where are you?

    Mid Devon - near Tivvy. I do occasionally come up that way to the in-laws in Chittlehampton and maybe even a Bideford bike night. If you do want to off load that filter and wrench, let me know and we'll work something out?

    Sounds good to me, Andy. Looking at the weather forecast suggests that it "may be some time"! I know it's sporadic and localised but we had around 5 inches of rainfall on Friday - loads of road flooding here with rainwater runoff from the fields. A local published a picture of a funnel cloud tornado in Wellington - about 6 miles from where I live!

    I'll pm my contact details.
