Hi all,
I managed this with no problems how ever I also decided to do an oil/filter change which did not go so well. The filter must have been installed by one of or simian [gorilla] mates as it would not budge so I resorted so we are to the bang a screwdriver thru it technique which led oil everywhere including the driveway Shock, horror from the SWMBO. Anyway we got most of it off so we are still married! LOL.
All I have left is the underbody fuel filter which I will tackled tomorrow.
Cheers,

Oil filter, get a proper tool, no gorilla, they just get stuck tight.
Under bonnet fuel filter.
Undo 2 plugs.
Remove 2 hose clamps.
Slide hoses off.
Undo 2 12mm nuts.
Take to drain tray. Remove lower bracket 8mm.
Using a nice set of multi Grips carefully unscrew water sensor.
Using a strap oil filter tool unscrew filter from top mount.
Keep it all clean.
Lube o-rings.
Re-assemble in opposite order.
Rear fuel filter.
Clean. Dry.
Remove 2 10mm mounting bolts.
Carefully release orange clips from behind.
Once popped, slip lines off.
Fit up new one, make sure it's secure.Comment

Thanks Rusty,
Apart from everything else I am now 70 so I am beginning to think I am just too old for all this sh*t now!
I had an oil filter removal tool but it got lost in house moving.Comment

Hi BB,
I built a 105E Anglia into a full racer but I could not even fit into the places I did in that build to weld up the full cage. Oh those were the days.
Are you 70+ as well? Got my first pension payment last week so I am realy old now!
