Time to change the air filter after putting off last year. Looks a lot of work but in reality its a very easy job, you just have to be very careful not to damage the paintwork.
Also changed the oil pressure switch whilst i was at it, but that proved to be a little more tricky.

If you want a bit more practice mine's in the garage needing the same.

Well done Deano.

Just hope you don't have change the "o" rings for the oil cooler pipes into the block. That's a real b.....

Cheers

I thanks the "Gods of Malvern Link" that my Aero Chassis has a nice metal panel under the wing that can be removed to change the air filter.

The oil filter us under the engine so I think that only means the wings have to come off to change the plugs, in another 30,000 miles.

Or am I just deluding myself?

The whole front end can be stripped in an hour if there are two of you (not strictly necessary but very useful) and of course all the bolts come out.....

I did it on my own and its a total of 16 fastners to undo to take the bonnet, cowl and wing off.

Having just changed the filter on the plus 8 as Peter discribes, i was surprised to find that the S3 has a second much finer filter placed behind the main filter. Looks like MMC have made another cost saving.
