Now I just need to work out what the hell on the car needs a 27mm spanner.

The real job was to check the airbox for crud, and it was all pretty good in fact. A bit of oily grit but not the plentiful sand dunes that some have reported.

Hope this helps

Spent ages yesterday scratching my head working out where the hell the dipstick was.
Embarrassingly, I'd had to check the manual, then check You Tube!

What a ridiculous faff when you want to do a 'quick' check/top up!!

Hello,

Does anyone still have this video?

I found a small leak which I think comes from the pentosin reservoir. (The weather was a bit hot the other day and it might have spilled)

I wanted to give the engine a good clean.

By the way, what is the torque to apply to the strut brace when you put it back?

Kind regards,
Alex

Here is a very good guide on how to remove part of the airbox.

I believe the bolts are secured with 12Nm, but i will check when im back at home.
