Hi all.
Changed the oil today in my DTi Mig, what a commotion to get the oil filter canister undone (i thought these went out with the early Cortina's)
I guess they have the enviroment in mind, which i'm for.
Didn't have a 36mm socket, so had to modify a old 32mm Yamaha open ender from my biking days, attacked with a hacksaw & file to make it 36mm & Bob's ya Aunt it came undone.
Gona invest in a new socket though for next time
She was def in NEED of a change & the air was too.
Next wkend i'm gona do the fuel filter for which iv'e a question=
With my old Rover Diesel i used to get the engine warm, pour some injector cleaner in the new filter & fire her up so the cleaner went through the injectors neat & this made a nice difference to how well she went. Would i be ok to do the same with the Mig or will i nak it?
Thank you. Pete

I do that in my 2.5TD, can't see any prob with doing it on the 2.2, but best wait to see if anyone else done first?

Cheers pal. I personally can't see it doing any harm, but better safe than

Neat Diesel Forte i use all the time and place in the new filter then run up the engine and leave running for a while to give the injectors a good clean.
