Access to the oil filters on our vans is a bit tight - well it is on my 2.0 Jtd/HDi. Suppose the same on the 1.9. A Draper filter strap type remover that fits on a socket ratchet is useless. Used to have to resort to a strap wrench, but the thing would slip about 20 times before biting as access for the tool and hands are tight.
Lashed out a whole £6.50 on ebay, inc. delivery, to get new oil filter pliers. clamped it on, squeezed the handles and turned - the old filter turned straight away. No swearing, no straining. Should have done it years ago!

Are you paid to endorse those pliers?
are you the seller?
why do you want your oil filtered?
Thanks for your questions, Munter.
I don't want my oil filtered any more. That's why I was taking the filter off.
Come on, keep up!

I didn't want my oil filtered, but it all ran out. What did you do to stop this happening Woodbine?

Sold! I've been put of servicing the van myself since the last time and this is why. Worth a punt at that.

Keep adding more. Constantly adding fresh oil means filtering not required.
Bit messy, but there you go.

Yes, paid for itself the first time I used it. Seems like a good tool and just right for our vans.
