Car now sold

AH well thats why i ask on here as this is the place for the right info from folk who have done the job,

Dont think i would change oil without a filter though, that does seem daft.

Thanks for replies

Nearly all the sellers online are selling a kit with 7 X1L of oil and a filter for around £100 to £130

Afternoon all

Was looking though the forum for info on changing the autobox oil and filter,

On some it seems thats enough ...

i find the 1.4.0 works fine for the fault code checking and a few other things. that INPA is far more involved but really hammers the battery , mine was nearly flat after an hour messing trying to get the webasto working.

This seems to supply the jump start as its plugged into the mains, it says rated at 130amps

I cant work out though how they say its a trickle or fast charger when the charge rate is 20amp thats ...

Evening all

Looking at this charger, seems to have trickle and fast charge and a jump start facility which is handy for us that dont use the car much and forget to charge it,

I downloaded the manual, it does say battery should be disconnected before charging but it seems to say that on a lot of ...
