Your be asking him to use that rubbish Linux next! Its on the front of the block and behind the Rad mate (cant miss it really0 . Its either a white/orange/blue round metal thing mate¬!

Would probably be able to see it alot easier if the bonnet opened the correct way!lol

BTW, I have linux, Mandrade 8 or 9, cant remember, not my cup of tea!

Cheers!

its down under the front of the engine hidden in the land of oz which ull never be able to touch unless u have baby hands

 

[16V_Matt]

Yea its under the Inlet manifold at the front ! and the bonnet does open the right way...

Best view youll get of it is if you get the front jacked up and lie under the drivers side of the rad. Look up and youll see the sump just beyond your head, high up and straight a load of dark stuff which will be the underneath of the inlet manifold, and a load of stuff which is designed to prevent you from getting your hands in to work on it, unless you have girls wrists. But somewhere in there on the front of the block under the manifold is the oil filter. In the right light Ive sometimes spotted it with the headlight out or peering through the side of the rad with the cross member off. A very rarely sighted creature, the valver oil filter.

womens blouses..............the lot of yer.......i never have any trouble changing my oil filter.......god sake....whats the matter with yer eh ??? (runs & hides behind benr)

 

[jon_r]

sssssssssh someone mentioned linux, but i think we got away with it......

 

[16V_Matt]

yea i have no troubbe getting to it either!!

 

[BenR]

easy mate.

THere is a large opening nxt to the drivers headlamp......take the key supplied by Ren for filter access, open the door, walk in, its quite high up so you might need a ladder, i do.........

Get father ted to hand you the cowbar and peirce it,.....take it out on a wood pallete with fork lift.

Then again, if your not as small as me, just reach inside, grab the filter and twist it off........
