    Simota isnt it?
    Also are you not worried about that bit of oil on the left side of the engine lump? Looks unhealthy

    there isnt much work to be done to be honest mate ! take the old filter off ( it was a shitty piper cross heat sucking one) i had to cut the flow pipe what came with it and move the power steering fluid bottle (it dangles well) and the tighten the jubilee clips and thats a bout it mate !
    
    hope it helps !
