I have 2 strong Axel stands and also lots of bricks just incase the axel stands breaks.

One more question!

Would have have to remove the oil filter from bottom or the top!? I can't see it

the filter from the top looking at the engine bay so i'm thinking its from the bottom.

Right on all h22 ludes except the Type S you can remove the filter from under the car. But for the Type S it can only be from the top. The ATTS unit is in the way and the oil filter is relocated higher up in the block.
But for you Nitin go from under the car. If it wont remove stab it with a driver and turn it, Oil will start to come out after a few turns and will run down you hand so pull your sleeves up.
Do it when the engine is warm too. But dont be scarred the oil wont be hot it will be very warm. THe exhaust may be hot though.

Although if the oil was boiling, he probably would be scarred. AH THE JOY OF SEMANTICS

I tried the surgery!

Jacked up my car and I had all the tools everything was set. But then as ever something was fecked up.

I couldn't get the oil drain bolt to move. I tried everything, put all my power but it wouldn't move.

Also manage to burn my hand on the downpipe. Then it started raining so I just did what any Nitin would do. Pack up and go to my local garage and had them do it!

Can I tell you a secret,

I don't know how to change my wiper blades.

I tried to change the rear wiper the other day and it broke from the clip. So it's held on by sellotape now.

LLL, I just used 10w-40 Mobil S.
