Has any one changed the oil filter on xsara hdi , I can just about get my hand to it , Any good ideas or suggestion to getting to it . Seems moving coolant header tank may be a option . Never worked on a car where everthing is so tighthly packed into the engine bay.
Cheers all

Visit your local GSF and purchase a 'Purflux' oil filter removal tool. It fits over the filter and locks onto the ridges built into Purflux filters.
I've got just about every type of oil filter removal tool, but when I need to gain access to a filter in a tightly packed engine bay this is always the tool of choice as it is so compact (provided of course that the filter being removed was made by Purflux!!).
