Looking to do an oil and filter service on a 2004 vanquish. I am puzzled as to how to get the oil filter out of the car. Being buried as it is low on the LH side of the engine it is trapped by suspension tower, exhaust manifolding and lower engine panels. There is obviously a trick somewhere, but I cant see it. Thanks
You have to take off the underbody shield to get to it.
you will need a ramp/pit to be able to get to the many bolts/clips holding it on....best of luck....your looking at about 3 hours labour min...

There is a short cut that dealers can use, but don't like to as it leaves oil spillage on the panel. If you have access to a workshop, you could add a small 30cm x 30cm panel wiht a couple of self tapper screws in it, to make the next time quicker. The short cut the garages uses involves pulling off the left hand air intake

I have already removed the lower underbody shield and been confronted with more panel work. There is a central panel with quite a large number of bolts (I think the fuel pump is attached to this panel as well) so I guess this could be the access I am looking for. Cheers and Thanks again.
