I need a proper floor jack. Current supercheap auto one works but isn't low enough to get under the front jacking position (the under tray is in the way and it gets caught) and it also wont raise high enough...for my liking anyway. My garage is quite small so i savour as much room and working space as i can get.
If only i was a costco member. That low profile one they have looks sweet.
Anyway.
Quickly had some time to fit the fuel filter yesterday.
Took off the plastic cover and found everything was ok, the bracket wasn't rusted or anything which is good.
No that spring clamp wasn't like that when i found it, i moved that before i took the photo.
I used the 1/4" ratchet extensions in my tool set to plug the fuel lines when i was working my way around there.
The Cooper filter was a fraction too small for the oem bracket so i had to cut a slice of radiator hose and use it as some added meat to help clamp it down.
You can see the bit of rubber hose under the clamp.
The oem 6mm bolt was also too short so luckily i had a longer one laying around.
This morning i dumped the old valvoline oil out and put some fresh penrite stuff in there.
Seems good so far, no lifter ticking whatsoever. Only time will tell i guess. If this oil ends up holding fine till the next scheduled service. I will definitely be sticking with it.
looks like your loving teh car.
