its not like all the other normal filters. this one you just replace the filter element not the entire casing like the rest of the engines.

yes they are quite tight, i used a set of mole grips on the top but that was on a 1.2 16v. Is there nothing to grip, on the 1.2 16v one theres a big hex?

is the haynes manual a green one?

go to the oil change section and it'll split into two, one for 1.0lt/1.2lt and the other for 1.4lt/1.6lt
