Well, finally started the process of servicing the car
Carried out the easy bits this afternoon - air filter and spark plugs. Thanks to Amar managed to get a good deal on the parts so off we go A few pictures as words are boring A view of the engine with no plastic on and one of the plugs out: Which ones the old one?: Old air filter was very poor quality compared the new one (Bosch): Where the filter came from (what is the item at the bottom?): Lost a screw that holds the coil packs to the engine down the engine - will get it out tomorrow when I take the tray out to do the oil change. Will continue tomorrow

Very satisfying doing your own work on the car, I serviced my wife's Mini today, took the best part of 40 minutes from start to finish.
That air filter looks like it's not been changed for a long time.

I personally would leave the oil filler cap on while your working on the top of the engine. If you had dropped you coil pack bolt in there it might have made the job very complicated

Will be in all day as trying to do the final stages so PM me with your number if you can make today I had to take the oil cap off as I didn't have an extension bar so it was stopping me from getting any leaverage on the coilpack nuts Point taken though (it was put back on when I started to do the rest though)

Well - didn't go to plan
Plugs changed Air filter changed Oil changed Oil filter changed (what a b@st@rd) Brake pads (half done) Didn't check all the pads in the box as assumed they are good so fitted one side OK. Started on the other - removed all the old pads then started to put the new ones in but hit a problem - see pic: 3 of the same so won't fit So, had to put the old ones back in and put the car away, Not at home until Thursday so will try and get GSF to replace the wrong ones - not going to take the ones I have put in..........) On Thursday will also change the fuel filter then put new tyres on the front and off on holiday to the French Alps Just hope I can get it all done by then
