right magnetec purchased along with engine flush and new sump plug so now for lunch and watch the moto gp then time to get stuck in

And filter as well I hope?

For what it's worth, I jack and prop the car and remove the offside rear wheel: improves access to the filter if you're an old coffin- dodger like moi.

Yeah bought new filter yesterday at silverstone john as luck would have it my mate who's giving me a hand works for ats so got use off there ramps

I have magnetic sump plugs fitted to the TF160 in the sump and the gearbox.

The gearbox has a built in magnet anyway to catch the iron fillings, but an extra one never hurts. Last time I did an oil change there were very fine bits of metal stuck to the sump plug. Not enough to worry about, but they are not in their now.

These are the ones I fitted:

and this was the sump one on the last oil change:

The only time I use engine flush is if I buy a car that has very dirty oil. I tend to not leave oil in long enough to reach the black stage so there is really no need for flushing.
With K-Series engines the coolant introduced into the oil during HGFs generally washes deposits out anyway.
