today I decided to change the oil, the oil filter and the oil level sensor on the sump.
everything was going ok , removed the huge aluminium plate, and the sensor , checking for little bits of plastic I the oil as I went, removed the oil filter top, and then the sump plug
refitting went ok , filled oil up , no leaks, then oil filter was wrong type
got another filter then re fitted the plate, no one told me the sway bar is attached to it did they
3 hours and a lot of swearing , doing in on the side of the road with no jacks, were all working again
Steves tip of the day.
Don't do the aluminium plate at the side of the road get a set of jacks or a car lift
plus I seemed to have a bit of trouble getting the oil filter in the housing then screwing the lid down , seems to be a movable plate inside the lid that was getting stuck on the filter
