Thanks Mike. Glad its still a simple one. I hear so many horror
stories of modern cars needing half the front suspension removed :-)
to replace a headlight bulb or something.

Regards
Graham
wait till you need to change a headlamp bulb on the KA, one side can
just be done, the other is take the wheel off and go in under the arch
!
Its been done about three time since new, so not to your yearly
requirements, however, I am tempted to do it again this summer as has
been 2 years and 2500 miles since last change and looking light brown
rather than its usual clear honey colour. Any words of wisdom about
doing
that? Is the filter accessible. I'll use the trolley jack and axle
stands
to get to the drain plug.
Not very no, and it ****es all down your arm and drips off the
driveshaft
when you get it off.

That was helpful !! Now can you tell me anything useful, like how
difficult
is the oil filter to grab. No didn't think so!


"Is the filter accessible?"
"Not very, no"

Simple, put the car on ramps or jack it up, unscrew the sump plug and let
the oil drain into something - a bucket, perhaps - unscrew the oil filter
(at this point oil will drain down your arm and all over the driveshaft,
but telling you this isn't useful), replace filter, replace sump plug,
replace oil.

We can't tell you how difficult the filter is to grab, everyone tends to
have their own way of reaching the filter. Some go in from above, others
from below, some use 4 post ramps, others on their back lying in the road.
For all we know some may be 7'2" tall with oil filter wrenches instead of
hands.

Oh, and your attitude ****ing stinks.

I react that way to unhelpful dross

Yawn!

Me too!

You have had a pop at two of the most helpful members of this group.
Your attitude does stink. Now go **** yourself.

Hope that was helpful enough.

You'd do well to browse the archives and find out who posts ****e and who
doesn't. Telling Rob the tiscali idiot to go stuff himself up a camel's arse
is entirely reasonable, but there are some on this NG who deserve better.

Its a newsgroup, flack is what happens. If you can't take harsh and honest
criticism, then go to a moderated forum. Nowt personal, I mostly take no
notice of who is the author, just what is written. That first reply was as
helpful as a choclate teapot and reserver the right to voice my opinion as
do you.

his girlfriend shouts "Don't do it Ricky; he ain't worth it" :-)

You're talking ****e, and not taking into account the advantages of a
