How to get to the filters?

[JnP]

I'd like to get to the oil and air filter. From what I gathered I have to open the air box and mine seems to be a pain in the ass to remove. Anyone with a little advise ?

just stick your arm in under the trumpets (access from front and unclip the catch, repeat with other two catches unplug air temp plug, remove Oil breather and pressure sensor hose at front,undue Allen bolts hold airbox lid stays onto intake lift lid and remove small rubber hose at rear, . remove filter and undue the 10mm nuts and bolts for rear bracket, get a 10mm socket and small extension to undo front bracket and wiggle out. 15 mins if you've got all the tools ready .
Most fiddly bit IMHO is undoing the front bracket bolt (I've now slotted my front mount so I only need to slacken it and not remove it completly.

Ok I'm not sure I understood everything I'll have a look again

Btw, not sure if you know but I just emptied the oil in the engine and about to open to empty the sump, when I refill, is it through the same way as when you service the car (when you open the service bonnet ? ) or there's a plug on top of the engine somewhere ?

I got to the oil and air filter I'll post pictures later on, thanks again

I seem to think that you need to refill the oil a certain way to ensure oil gets into the engine before you start up.
I'd give TVR Power or someone a quick call if I was you just to check.

I found this thread where he says refill the acumulator of only 4,5l I'm not sure what he means by the acumulator...

The accumulator is the oil tank - the lid on that tank is where you add oil. The point is that if you just drain that tank for a simple oil change you will need 4.5L to fill it to the max mark. Really draining the oil though means emptying the bottom of the engine where the pump sits and the oil galleries as there is another couple of litres there - there was a thread on that somewhere as access to the galleries is difficult.
