Oil Drain Plug/filter Locations - 2.2D?

[ic0n]

Hi

Could some kind person clue me in - I need to change the oil on my 2007 2.2d. How much plastic will I need to remove, and roughly where is the plug and filter?

I've had the car from new as a lease, but I recently bought it from the lease company but intend to work on it myself. I've had a cursory search for a Haynes book of lies, but couldn't find one. Is there a service manual available?

Many thanks

John

the under carriage will need to be removed.

the under carriage will need to be removed.

Yeah, cheers for that. I've rolled it onto it's back to take the wheels off, but I think the roof might be scratched now.

It was a bit more obvious when it was up on the ramp and when I got the filter which, being just an insert, told me what I was looking for - the oil filter housing is indeed behind the plastic, but with a convenient little door held shut by a self-tapper.

I'm used to motorbikes where things are a bit easier to find.
