That's the oil and filter changed, filter cap was so gunged up, I had to clean it out with carb cleaner.

By the way, all you V6 owners, how do you change the oil filter, without getting it all over your hair? :-?

 >:( ;D


I unwind the oil filter cap very slowly, then when the oil starts to show I just leave it draining into a container until all the oil is out.  A cloth is used when I finally remove the cap to catch the very last drops of oil. ;) ;)

Looks like the pig tail has snapped off (as they do) to me too.

Here you are AA, do your springs have the pigs tail that curls around the pin in this shot?
Sorry for the quality just snapped a quickie with the phone while TG was fixing my rim leak.

I'm going for these from buypartsby:-

Part Number : RJ6211
 Cost : £38.82 + vat
 
 Coil Spring       
 
 Model: OMEGA B 2.6
 Year range:  01/00-12/04
 Location: RR
 Extra info:  Saloon
 Heavy Duty
 Mini-Bloc type
 Petrol

I thought the heavy duty would be better for towing.

Anyone got any thoughts on them please?
