Is an oil change going to be difficult at home without safely raising the car? I had a corsa a few years ago before this c30 and it was easy to do an oil change/service because everything was accessible. Under this c30 there is a plastic cover under the engine that I imagine is going to be quitedifficult to release with the car on the ground. Unless I jack it up one side at a time.... living on the edge lol.

I cant get to the ECM/ECU until some new wheel nuts arrive before taking the wheel off to access it in the wheel arch, as I damaged the nuts on that wheel last time over tightening them. I'll come back to that next week.

Thanks

yes its still "lift one side, fit axel stand, lift the other fit axle stand"

Please do Not rely on JUST the jack to hold the car up in the air if you are going under it/taking a wheel off
sadly jacks can and do fail
£25-£30 for removing the risk of the jack slipping/failing and you being the thing it lands on = Worth it ,,,



Please stick a brick/block/wedge under the Rear wheels when lifting the Front,, and front wheels if lifting the back,,
