Hi condor, just go to B&Q or similar they usually sell something to get it off. Failing that Betterware do an Oil Patch Remover which will do the job.

Sprinkle automatic dishwasher detergent over the erea, leave a few minutes then rinse with boiling water. Then scrub the erea with a scrub brush then rinse away.

In Engineering we use a product called dresser dry. We scatter it on the spillage and then use the back of a spade and keep scrapping it across the stain. It really does work. The floor is concrete so it should work on your drive.

These people have got the right product for removing oil from driveways. I've tried it and it works. I tried alsorts of stuff before like cola, clothes washing liquid and wd40 made it worse. I also discoverd that they are now doing a discount voucher thing if you look on youtube. That's why I put that link in. The link to their shoop is http://www.serpro.eu/...in-Removal-Kits.html. You can buy just the liquid if you've already got the other bits and pieces. I found it useful to watch the video before I used it, it was suggested buy the guy on the phone, he was really helpful.
