Can you explain what I have to do that is critical? I have read the how to pdf from here and have details from the workshop manual too. Simon. |

I will do it properly (hopefully) as thats the whole point of doing it myself as then I know it has the correct fluids in there and I know it has been done. The air filter is so black at the moment you cannot see any white bits so not sure when that was changed either, but got a k & n on its way to solve that. Will the auto oil expand when warm then? If so if it is warmed to within the temp range and checked to make sure will it be the recomended capacity while at that temp or is it the recomended capacity while cold? Confusing! While I am here, the refill plug, is that located above the box at the front end near the battery with a rubber plug? Only had a very quick look so far. The diagrams are a little unclear. Simon. |

The fluid will definitely expand when hot. It seems to me that filling within the temperature range stated will prevent overfilling, which would be bad news. |

I am not doing it until the weekend (if my MGR dealer has it in stock) so gives me plenty of time to suss it out. |
