The oil filter on Ford Fiesta vehicles from the 2000s is located next to the oil sump, both situated at the bottom of the car. To access the filter and replace it, lift the vehicle and use a filter removal spanner to loosen the casing, then continue the disassembly by simply rotating it by hand.

When replacing the filter, it is important to place a small container underneath as oil may spill during removal.

The oil filter should be replaced when changing the engine oil. The filter can be purchased online or at auto parts stores; the cost of the filter is £15, while the total cost for replacement including engine oil change is £100.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
