Haha, i ended up buying a tool for £5.99 from my local car parts store and it took about 3 seconds to remove, Mint!
Anyway, earlier today i picked up 5litre of renault type D coolant, 5litre of 5w 40 oil and and an oem oil filter/sump plug washer from nissan/renault, unfortunately they didnt do the elf oil, only nissan so i opted for this, its got to be decent stuff being from a main dealer..
The oil change was straight forward(apart from removing the filter, but the coolant change was a bit of a b*****d removing the bottom hose etc, i also let it idle for about ten mins and when the fan kicked in it gobbled loads of f**king coolant and i only had a bit left so i had to top it up with water to max, so you do need more than 5litre if you dont want to add a smidge of water.
Looks nice tho, and i did top it up to the max line after i had finished...
Heres a small list of what i will be doing in the near future..
.A new windscreen(stonechip bugs me)
.Fit my bottom ball joint
.Polybush dogbone
.Powerflex engine mount
.Decat
.Rs tuner/efi map
.New pads/discs all round + fluid
.Maybe a steering wheel refurb
Thats it, the car is brilliant i absolutely love it, its high mileage at 118k, but it feels a lot more tight than my arctic did.
