Hi

I'm doing an oil change on a 2007 MINI Cooper S and can get the filter cap off, but its stuck between the various pipes and there doesnt seem to be an easy route up or down to get it out and to then put it back in with the new filter.

I'm thinking I need to unfix the expansion bottle to create space, but wondered if anyone had any tips for this before I start?

Thanks!
