just did it guys :D wooo.

onslack, it was leaking from the filter lol but i didnt realise there would be so much fuel left in there. there still is like, is that normal?

but yeah, new ones in and the cars running. i see what everyone means, i feel F'ing great lol. if i had the oil id tackle that! btw, do i need a new sump plug washer? or is it down to the condition of it whether you change it?

girlfriend just failed her test for the 2nd time :( so my feelings are balanced now lol.

thanks for all the advice and persuasion to do it myself everyone! have to do the spark plugs on wed at my mates because i dont have a spark plug remover! :(

you've done 5000 miles already! :O bloody hell.
lol okay :P as i said im doing my plugs on wednesday! have to space them dont you on the spark plug?
fuel filter would have been a dodle if id realised to put the plug on the filter lol! think the oil will be a doddle, just new a new washer for it. 10mm spanner? bit of kitchen roll! i think thats the main stuff. and obviously a pot of some sort for the oil. you going to use engine flush with yours?

haha, my step mum left hers for ages on her 05 plate fiesta, they rusted in and shes had to get the drilled out! :doh:

Good lad :D Fuel line will always leak when you change the filter, no worries there!

Oil filter has done 5000 miles and you're leaving it??? Change the fekking thing! You'll just going to contaminate that lovely clean fresh oil you put in! Mine get's change every 3000-4000 miles with the oil, and sometimes get's changed before the oil is due anyway! :D

And definately change the sump plug washer. Last thing you want to do is fill it all up only to find the old one isn't sealing anymore and you have to drain it all again for the sake of a washer.

Well done though, you're getting there! Told you you'd feel great after doing it! :D
