Hi guys, time to do my service......
Have got my oil, air and fuel filters, got the oil.... just wandering...... is there a pollen/dust filter anywhere as i do have air con?
Also anythin I should be prepaired for? little things to do to make access easy etc. Am a capable tech but never touched one of these before...

p.s. also ordered a spare fuel filter so can start on the bio, am thinking SVO up to 50/50 for now? or should i build up to that gradually?

cheers Laughing

parts came wasn't happy as fed ex left them in my yard which is'nt enclosed apart fron 3ft wall coz i was at work so anybody could hav been off with parcel which was quite large...anyway top end fiters no prob to replace apart from did hav trouble restarting after fitting new fuel pump i did prime it but still took some turning over before it fired up
left oil filters as was doing this at home on drive which is gravely (if thats the correct term Smile

)so not to easy on my ageing back and a;so had a 2 yr old running round wanting to play ..bless her.. so will be taking it to my mates garage and use his ramps but filters do look a bit of a swine to get to any usefull tips on this part of service Question

A couple of foot length of cardboard folded in the middle to act as a trough for the oil to run down (tip from Grandad Wink

) then oil filter is at 45 degrees and will spill oil everywhere so the cardboard will direct it into a bowl.

You'll see what I mean when you get under and have a look where the oil is and how it's going to run everywhere Very Happy
