Re: longer than i fort....

it been like a year now....Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

 

[Bluebeard]

I can't help but wonder... WTF is going on?

 

[Rob]

Sorry?

Basic servicing on RS models is very easy TBH.

Engine oil, gear oil, all filter, spark plugs, leads, can all be changed by yourself.

 

[Bluebeard]

Why is he talking about shift and R?

 

[Alastair.]

huh?

 

[akaboogie]

cheers (rob)...yh i was thinkin g to change every think my self bet then was my have a pro look over it may be better..

how meny filters is to be change apart from air filter..as i have an itg panel...is ther a petrol filter at all.

 

[Rob]

I think there is a fuel filter on the ph2, but there's not on the ph1 so I can't help you with that.

All you need is the oil filter and cabin filter then.

So 5L of oil
Oil Filter
Cabin filter
NKG spark plugs

Plenty of guides on here to follow too.

cabin and air filter are a doddle.

172 cup - no cabin filter - no fuel filter

 

[Rob]

Cup's don't have a cabin filter? Are you serious???

The state of them when they come out, where does that all go in the cup?

 

[akaboogie]

Go to Michael Woodford Motorsport in Chertsey, they've always done a good job with my car.
