rich83 - Edition 30..... Breaking
rich83:
Current filter in over 100,000miles old so this one will be put on over the weekend hopefully.
OEM filter £33.20.

Not too bad a job. Luckily the screw was ok but it really needs a new on as it's head is corroded. Lots of black crap inside.
rich83:
Well that wasn't fun. Spark plugs. No4 was rusty on top and pig to get out. No2 was also very difficult to remove, felt like the thread was spinning.
I think I'll change plugs every service from now on.
Also these plugs used to be made in Japan but they are now made in Thailand. Just FYI.

Good job on the fuel filter, mine was a complete pain… my pipes wouldn’t budge!
Spark plugs should not get rusty… water shouldn’t be getting anywhere near there…!
Check your seals on your coils.

I agree. I might swap the coil packs for new r8 ones soon, although the seals looked fine.
