Technical Regular maintenance

[Peter Pick-Up]

Just finished a regular maintenance job.
New oil, oilfilter, air and fuelfilter, ready for another 7500km....!
My 1700 Diesel Pick-Up has done 265000km's now (about 165600mls), and still going strong....!!

Hello Peter,

I have just posted but I think you may have the answer.

I have a Fiorino disabled vehicle conversion, with a 1.7TD engine. I need to drop the oil and have just discovered I do not have an allen key the right size.

I am off to the car parts shop in an hour or so, if you are there can you tell me what size I need to get that would be a big help

Regards

Richard

Thank you for that, it saved me scratching my head

I use a piece of hollow metal tube to lengthen the Allen key when unscrewing it.
Makes it a lot easier!
(Don't use it when closing the oildrain though, you may strip the thread...!!!!)
