What Have You Done to Your Cougar Today?

Oil and filter.....the filter was loose!!!!

That happened to me on my Zetec once as well. The difficult access makes it worse.

I'm not a mechanic, not an expert, but as far as I can see the instruction "hand-tight" is kind of insufficient. A little bit inexact for my taste. Glad you caught it in time.
 
well this weekend I have removed the engine, fitted new power steering pipes, a new alternator, a new starter motor, stainless headers, new brake servo and master cylinder and 2 drive shaft gaiters, refitted the engine and started it on first turn :) just got to bleed the brakes and clutch tomorrow after work and finish fitting my stainless exhaust (y)

Well done Paul. Good on you. (y)
 
A bit of disk circumpainting and a spot of general titivating uppery .
