The official way takes loads of time, also this is the first time I will be servicing the Alfa ever! I did change the oil before taking it to Germany for our summer holiday as there was still 6500 miles remaining before its' service, but if anyone knows a shortcut which could save me time I would be most grateful! Have you changed it the official way, if so is it quiet straight forward to do?
Cheers all!
