Hi people, I'm going to tackle my first engine service this weekend and was wondering if there are any tips and tricks that I might find usefull.
I have got the filters from Milners and noticed that the drain plug is missing from the bottom of the fuel filter. Is this normal to have to transfer the old one over?

Yup the water trap and drain plug part have to be swapped over.

Is it safe to use an engine flush, I normally get one from Partco for my other car?

Umm, thinks to himself! Every thing not to bad on the Trooper, you may want to fill the filter with fuel( some people use injector cleaner) to help with the bleeding process, though mine has never been a problem. Some people seem to struggle with oil filter, I use a wrench that goes over the end, which works fine, I also partially fill the oil filter with fresh oil too, so it pumps up quicker. The cross member is good at catching oil when draining, and ends up going every where if your not careful, again some people have removed this I believe.
