Trying to get the oil filter off earlier (which had apprently been hand tightened by King Kong) Tried using my usual filter wrench (chain type) and a variety of other methods (including an embarrassingly lame attempt to stab it with a screwdriver) all to no avail.
Then I shouted at it a bit.
Still didn't budge.
Its a bugger to get any of the side wrenches on with how its placed on the 3l so went down to Screwfix and got one of these.

Feck me its the best £12.50 I've ever spent! Put it on the filter, attached a socket wrench with extension and it came undone soooooo easily.
Sure most of you more spannery types know full well about these but anyone who doesnt and is planning a service... get one.
(and only do the feckers up hand tight after changing)
