and can anyone advise the right socket/tool to remove sump plug please as not done my own service for a while as had cheap (free) mechanic but due to ill health he is doing less so i need to step up.
 
Don't forget the engine breather filter or cyclone mod and the turbo vent, both get ignored!!

Also, as it looks like a TD4 you are working on then you'll need about 7L of engine oil.
Check IRD and Diff oil while you are underneath.
Don't forget brake fluid every 2 years too!!

For the oil I've got 2 bottles in my basket so 10 litres

Cyclone mod??

Heard of the breather filter.. Crank case right?
 
Have a search on here, yes breather is the crankcase filter which can be changed to a BMW cyclone filter which doesn't need changing. There are mixed views on this mod. I have used it for many years with no problems.
The turbo vent is a small plastic filter hanging on the end of a pipe from turbo, one end is open to atmosphere. It is actually a fuel filter used for this purpose.

That pollen filter looks much better than the last one I removed, which was absolutely black, and wasn't the carbon version, so would have started out white.:eek:
