Just changed the discs, pads and fluid on my van. Did the shoes the other month.

Total cost

 

Changed the oil, oil filter, diesel filter and air filter yesterday
at 39K miles. Basic service really.

All Vauxhall/GM parts,

 

Do you have a workshop trick for catching the oil that comes out when you take off an old oil filter?

It always catches me out

 

The paper element ones tend to be upright and you dont spill any oil.
Apart from replacing a few 'O' rings its far easier and I dont know why
all manufacturers dont adopt this method.

The usual ones hanging down right over your drive shaft etc, well its
just a load of rags placed underneath. I suppose you could hold a
plastic bag under it as it spins off.

Russ.

 

Horizontal on the Omega V6......

I shall continue with rags/kitchen roll then
