HI ..EVERYONE.....I AM A COMPLETE NEWCOMER TO WORKING ON CARS BUT I GOT MY R REG FELLY A 1.3 LXI MPI TWO WEEKS AGO AND A HAYNES MANUAL

AND SO FAR I HAVE DONE ...OIL/FILTER CHANGE, AIR FILTER CHANGE, SPARK PLUGS , CHANGED THERMOSTAT AND SENSOR, RENEWED COOLENT , SET VALVE CLEARANCES AND STOPPED MY EXHAUST CLANGING AGAINS THE REAR AXLE BEAM........

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A GO A THE FEUL FILTER......IVE HEARD THIS IS A TOUGHY SO COULD YOU GUYS AND LADIES GIVE ME SOME WORDS OF WISDOM ON TOOLS TO USE AND ANY UNEXPECTED THINGS THAT MAY HAPPEN:rolleyes: YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY RECIEVED......

the bent nosed pliers you can get from halfords worked a treat for me, only like £6 but a serious life saver, spent ages trying to do it with a normal set but these really helped, make sure you have some screw jubilee clips handy as these really are essential, the only expecting that that happened was not depressuring the fuel system properly for me so i got petrol all over my fingers!

:Dthanks for the info jeffers. i got my bent plyers from halfrauds and i jacked my felly up and expected to have a really hard job.......going by what a lot of people said that this was a really tough job......it took me longer to jack up the car than to change the filter.....:thumbup:another job done.....

lol yeh i was seriously ****ed off when i got the pliers as i had spent a good 2 hours under the car outside my mates house and outside my house trying to do it before i thought F**K THIS went and got the pliers and did it so quickly!
