Its not a bad job, i can bring my ramps?

Its just a case of removing all the nuts and removing the sum, and cleaning it.

Once one the ramps, it prob takes less than 1 hour.

It is, if you have no facilities to lift up the car sufficiently...  :(

Is dead easy on a lift, not too bad with proper ramps, but on axle studs....  :-/

How often should the fluid be changed? My cars done 54k and seems to havebeen sold because the previous owner couldn't be bothered to do things like wishbones and brakes so I'm assuming the fluids not been changed either.  :(

Yep!

I think KevinW got a set for £35 is off ABS?

Gasket and filter is needed...

EDIT - and i think about 7 litres of ATF DexIII

Well i used 7 on my gearbox channge, forget what i used on the Senny.

I can also bring my 'special' ATF filling device for cars without an ATF dipstick and filler in the engine bay!
