Self Service??
« on: 06 December 2010, 21:53 »
Looking to service my car myself soon and just wondered if people could tell what I need to replace and change and where I can get it all from? Thanks  :grin:

Is it all relatively easy to change/replace?

Good! Might get round to fitting the net optic trim I've had for nearly 9 months too  :embarassed: And the Vinyl I've had for about the same time for my roof  :embarassed:

Best bit all the filters are in the engine bay.  None of this faffing around on the floor business  :grin: :grin:  Only got to get the car in the air to drain the oil  :smiley:

Sounds good, to drain the oil I will need to jack it up then? Time to get a trolley jack me thinks. :grin:

Unless you're a stick insect how else you going to get under the car  :tongue:  Also, if its still there, you'll need to remove the engine under tray to get at the sump plug
