You have to drop the sump to get the filter out which takes 14 Allen bolts and 4 bolts, then you have to change 2 sump gaskets as for some reason the sumps in 2 bits. The gaskets alone cost me £26.

    To be honest everything that goes in the bloody thing has a mark up on it. I think olive oil woulda been cheaper.
