Location of oil filter on a Rover 45 - oilfilter
I like to change the oil by myself on our Rover 45 TD. After a visit to a local garage found out that they didn't change the filter as promised, after a bit of argument they admited that the spotty lad on the weekend probably forgot to 'finalize' the procedure. ahee??

This has happen to me twice now (not at the same garage) so decided might as well do some diy to take me out of the house a bit.

My question wehre is the filter? The car manual don't contain any diagram to show me how to get to it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you dont know where the filter is how do you know they didnt change it?

If you cant find it are you sure you should be doing it ?

The car went to a mechanic for a new clutch master cylindr 2 days later and he was the one that alerted me that the filter looked old for a car that was serviced just the same week.
