I'm presuming if I was doing the job on my car/for a customer that green thing is the clip and would need replacing?
Ps, refitting took 2 seconds... just clipped straight back in :y
-
I rarely replace the clips, but *ALWAYS* have a couple spare, just in case they fail when removing...

Cheers mate :y
Love the fact Haynes describes these as ''quick release'' clips ::)
''really bloody hard work even with the correct tool'' clips would be more appropriate

You'll soon get the knack - it becomes easier with practice :y
Additionally, its seems Ralph has had a hard life, from a servicing point of view, so it may have been on a while.

firstly yours will be more well hidden being an estate i believe. having a saloon i simply took the rear drivers wheel off and crawled under. normal pliers and forceps did not work for me... i have a link robG kindly provided for the special tool to do it. still needed a bit of grunt

Yes mate if you don't mind that would be great. I know mine is well up in the body and its gonna be a rather job and half but i want to get it done the garage i had service it for me told me they could not get it off and gave me the new filter.... Can you adam and eve it cheeky or what. ;D ;D i knew i should have serviced it myself but time was an issue.
-
Thanks bear. Note to self type faster. ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
yes mate, link above :y

the costs on TC are...
Air filter - 10.14
Pollen Filter - 6.47
Plugs - 9.06
Oil - 11.04
Oil Filter - 3.12
Fuel Filter - 6.95
Total - 46.78
and you lknow its a proper job..... obviously if you need brake fluid, ATF etc it will be more but still :y
-
I know what you mean mate.....I was going to do it myself but like i said time ran out on me and i wanted it doing before we went away....I also had to have all the back brakes replaced which ticked me off even more casue i know i can get the parts cheaper and do them my bloody self but that said i dropped it off and picked it up job done and pocket lol. ;D ;D ;D
Will order a set of them now thanks again W.bear

gstylebaby - get some replace clips as well for fuel filter. If yours is really stuck, there is an even greater chance of the clips breaking. Can't think they are more than a quid each, you need 2.

Last time I did mine got new clips with filter.
Swine to get off - needed 2 small screwdrivers and 3 hands :o
Easy to get back on though :y
