You can buy High side valves on eBay for £5.00,, the LP looks like a std tyre valve but uses a different seal, the seals are normally green.
Please check the Forum Guidelines at the top of the Newbie section
Thank goodness for our resident storeman
The Insignificant engine is a pita as the filter is at the back right-hand corner of the engine and officially requires a special funnel to get the oil to drain cleanly when the filter is removed... It's almost a subframe out job*. Sucking the oil out doesn't correct the stupid design.,,
It's not quite that bad, but the filter cap is buried in the depths of Narnia.
....
Changing the oil+filter is interesting, if car isn't high enough you can't drop undertray flap down enough, .....
you need a Pela oil-sucker-outerer
I thought that wishbones that had the harder polly bushes fitted had a tendency to crack
.Bilsteins fitted to the Insignia
Better?
Note to self, stop looking on tInternet shopping sites,, just bought a pair of rear B4 Bilstein for £60.
Bilstein have a bit of a sale on at the moment, some good deals to be had
