Oil change today

[19CDTi]

Went not too bad, thanks to everyone that helped on here, locating the filter etc.

Got it all done in about 4hrs, but that was including ***ing about with the jacking height, in the end I had 4 paving slabs under 1 wheel, 3 under the other. It also included a trip to find a 32mm spanner as I didn't have a socket big enough for the filter can!!

Speaking of the filter can, what a ***** to locate a spanner!?!?! thanks VX, excellent design feature tucking it away right in the back there

I have learned a few things for next time and written down the spanner and socket sizes in the manual for next time

Thanks again dudes and dudesses!

Alright smarty leopard thong!!!

First time I've done it, took about an hour to work out it wasn't jacked high enough and I did have to take a half hour trip to get a spanner for the filter. It won't take me nearly as long next time, I can guarantee!

lol. i had to put mine on axle stands to do the front discs, hardest job was releasing the poxy clips on the fuel filter.


still nowt quite like knowing its a job well done is it

It was very satisfying considering I've not done a lot to any car myself. I was a happy shade of black by the end of it and sipping on a well earned beer

Glow plugs next I think, next payday!
