Thread: Changing transmission oil help

I just use a 1/2 ratchet

X2 on the 1/2" ratchet. Just make sure you can get that plug out before you drain any oil out

Same for me. 1/2" ratchet

Welcome to ownership of a modern vehicle. They put them together without ANY thought about the poor buggers that have to fix em. I deal with crap like that daily...

And if you think the starter motor is bad in a TD5, you should see it in a Puma!

My dad called it "The joys of motoring"

He hated some of the designs faults with a passion.
