I'm looking for tips on the best way to remove oil stains from the driveway, i'm pretty sure i'm asking the right group of people:angel:
So what tips or tricks do you recommend?
Driveway is coloured concrete (was a dark grey but has faded somewhat) and has a nice stain from my leaking TC:o being a rental i'm sure the agent won't be as understanding as fellow Rover owners are:D
Cheers, Phill

Buy a Toyota? :wasntme:
Seriously though, I'm sure this has been posted before. I think it was cement powder.
I must look myself, as I'm selling up soon and the two-tone drive and garage floor (two landy's!) may put people off.... :p

Just buy some degreaser from supa crap...the 5 litre one. Pour it on straight, leave it or about 5 mins and hose off (oops...water restrictions:p). Works a treat on my slate crete drive and the garage floor too.

I've seen this in some of the auto shops but never tried it personally.
Cleaning oil stains on your driveway - Instructables - DIY, How To, home, green - Entry (http://www.instructables.com/id/Cleaning-oil-stains-on-your-driveway/)
My mate had a brand new concrete driveway poured and then had many, many restless nights knowing I was coming to visit soon with my D2 :angel: (He has something called a Mercedes ML270 CDL, those Germans and their tight gaskets, where's the fun!)
Unknown to him, I had already worked out that as soon as I had parked was going to throw a couple of old T-shirts (I carry all the time ;)) directly under the sump where I get about 1 drips per night. Worked a treat.
Why dont normal people understand our LR's :p
