Its not a bad job, i can bring my ramps?
Its just a case of removing all the nuts and removing the sum, and cleaning it.
Once one the ramps, it prob takes less than 1 hour.

It is, if you have no facilities to lift up the car sufficiently... :(
Is dead easy on a lift, not too bad with proper ramps, but on axle studs.... :-/

If you want to change my ATF tunnie, I may even bring the MV6 ;)
-
How often should the fluid be changed? My cars done 54k and seems to havebeen sold because the previous owner couldn't be bothered to do things like wishbones and brakes so I'm assuming the fluids not been changed either. :(

Yep!
I think KevinW got a set for £35 is off ABS?
Gasket and filter is needed...
EDIT - and i think about 7 litres of ATF DexIII
Well i used 7 on my gearbox channge, forget what i used on the Senny.
I can also bring my 'special' ATF filling device for cars without an ATF dipstick and filler in the engine bay!

I've got the ATF, where do I get the gaskets, filter from? Vx?
-
Two gaskets (unless you use liquid gasket). Filter can be cleaned but the ABS price is very good.
PM me if you want the chaps email address or if you are an ABS member take a look on the back page of the SSN magazine.
-
I think KevinW got a set for £35 is off ABS?
Yep. From Dave Kember as advertised in the back of straight 6 news. £35 including postage for the filter and 2 gaskets.
Fluid from Opie oils (remember to register as an OOF member for discount). Fuchs 4000 for about 40 quid for 10 litres, IIRC.

At circa 50-60K
