I just rang the local motor factor's I get all my parts from to price the oil, filter, sump plug & washer, he did say it's C4 low Saps, I'm just trying to figure out if I need to buy any tools to do it, I got a picture of the front of the car, it is the same as first picture Gloucester put up the J10 but then Gel said it's a J11a so I'm lost ๐Ÿ˜‚

I got a rubber type oil strap but the J11s use the special sump plug & looks like I need a special removal tool... So is it J10 or J11a is the big question.

Haha! I'm with you now, I misread Gel's comment somehow... My cousins looks like the first picture LY63, so I should be in luck here with not needing any specialist tools... It's the heat getting to me I swear ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just been to collect the oil, filter & sump plug, the new sump plug is square drive which makes me think it's a J11 so I'll need an 8mm square socket & the 65/67 14f filter adapter.

I done it today, sump plug was an 8mm square drive & oil filter was on top of the engine, managed to get the sump with a grinded down Allen key & got the filter with a strap type filter removal tool.
