Autobarn, Repco and Bursons should sell a BF workshop manual if you don't already have one.

Thanks for the replies guys, also, any oil filters people would recommend? im assuming they are much of the same with different price tags? |

Ryco Z9 is $7.88 at Supercheap. My Motorcraft one is in the mail as we speak  Thought that I would give it a go.

Here's a tip. Note down the number plate of a BF taxi in the area. Walk into Ford and buy what you are after by asking for a fleet operators discount. Specify that its for a taxi and quote the plate you took a mental note of when asked. Then bulk buy. You'd be surprised how cheap filters really are when you order 20+ of them.

I only use the K&N or Drift filters, they got the magnet in the center of them and they are only like $16. |

You could get a filter mag and it would do a betrer job that works out cheaper in the end.
