Many thanks. That looks a joy to get to.

You're right. It was easy. The hardest part was cutting down a 27mm spanner . I don't see how you could use a socket as there was no room to get a ratchet into the socket once the socket was fitted onto the plastic cap. Job done in 20 minutes.

I still don't see how you fitted a bar into the top of the 27mm socket. There was simply no room between the top of the socket and the plastic above the oil filter housing. I'll try and take a picture.

No. The 2010 onwards 2.0 TDCi has it elsewhere.

Did my 2011 2.0TCi. It was a mare. Needed to take apart the inlet assembly plastics at the front of the engine that sit over it. I cannot see why ford cant put an inspection hole in the plastics, as they are solid. I was tempted to drill one in!!! It appears ford have a special dogleg spanner tool to use. Who designs these engines I really dont know!!

I cut down a ring spanner to do the job.
