So it was service day for my LDV Maxus and thought would give a go filming at the same time, learnt it's something you need many hands for... Van is: LDV Maxus 120 SWB 3.2t
Hi thanks for video my one just only needed 6 litters when I did this and I never filled the oil filter up but was easy with it been a van they is more room to work on it
Good video couple if suggestions for any other maxus owners .. Drain ,fill and check oil on LEVEL GROUND. When changing diesel filter cut a 2ltr bottle in half , disconnect the wiring from the filter and slide the bottle up the filter to catch the diesel. p.s. Are you still waiting for that diesel to EVAPORATE 🤣
Late to the party...I have a starter problem with my new 2008 LDV Maxus...I know there was someone else also who wrote below...any ideas please at to solutioning...glow plugs? I've read it could be a crankshaft sensor issue?
Belated answer, but in case it helps others, it's in the passenger footwell, right hand side. The filter goes in upright - you're looking for a long thin rectangle of plastic (running front to back) with X shapes running along it. That's the filter cover - latch is towards the vehicle rear - flip that off, cover comes off, filter comes out.
Interesting as I have a start problem with my 2007/8 Maxus and one of the solutions is to change the fuel filter. Not sure how you managed to stop the fuel coming out tried slowing the video down but cannot see.

I used as my sole daily driver for 2 years and brilliant. Also took to Slovakia and back and perfect for the journey. For a period sat it on the 96mph limiter and didn’t bat an eye lid. Probs sat 85/90 fair part of the Journey. Only daily issue was because mine was ex AA had vents on roof so car parks with barriers were a bit close. Only major issues being slave and master cylinder on clutch. (But easy to switch yourself). Has a sportier feel to other vans so can be playful to drive. Would recommend.
Top tip - don’t prefill the oil filter - it’s just a risk if introducing grit and it takes 2 seconds for the oil pump to pressurise the system. It’s really a bit of an urban myth that oil filters should be pre filled. If it was critical then all engines would have filters that screw in from underneath and many don’t.
@@rjwakeman I just bought an LDV Luton camper conversion and I’m liking it, underneath is solid-your vid was very useful too. Clutch is a bit juddery but doesn’t slip but seems easy to change, handbrake was toast, new shoes fitted and wheel cylinders as one was seized. It’s going to need a timing belt as I have no history. Apart from a service the only other issue is the dash lights are wonky and the heater control cables are stiff - a few little jobs to do but so far it’s refreshingly simple to work on and parts seem cheap!
Take out the diesel pump fuse and purge the diesel out of the lines going to the filter you won't get diesel every where do this before you drain the oil then before you fit the new diesel filter fill it up with diesel before you fit it, it all depends on the fuel filter mines a vw t5 I don't need to purge it,or do what your man says cut a plastic bottle up and cover the filter
thanks m8 great upload, helped me out.
Great video!

Does the sump plug have a washer at all you know of that needs replacing? Great video and comments. Cheers!

ianhadfield65 great idea 💡 top marks
good suggestion about the bottle; but how do you disconnect the wiring? Mine wont come off.
@@lukejones1244 hope you've managed it by now ... There is a tab on the plug ,push plug into socket and push tab in..
How do you get the sidelight bulb out of the Maxus 2008 ? Cheers

THEN how do reset the oil service RESET warning?
Здравствуйте! У вас есть тросик ручника, передняя часть?
Good you show on that video what taking 15 min what oil did you use
Anyone know where the fuel cut off valve is located ?
Do you know where the pollen cabin filter is located?

does the fuel pouring out signify a problem? Mine is doing exactly the same.

Did you work it out Graham as it seems to be a described issue?
what does it mean when fuel pours out immediately as you start unscrewing the filter?
Just ensure clamp fuel lines, there will be fuel in filter so just keep upright
how do you find it on a day to day basis to drive, I'm looking for one you see!

Would recommend.
Any idea how much it would cost to remove a limiter on a LDV Maxus 2007? Thanks
Unsure, what limiter is set? Mine had 96mph which I quite liked because was a good pace for long distance (Across Germany Obviously :P )
It’s set at 100km/hr or 60miles/hr. It was a minibus and changed to camper Van now so limiter no longer legal. Thanks for getting back to me!
Ask keV @ robilise
Ask keV @ Remobilise
Would you recommend one of these van looking at buying one cheers
Check it over properly first and make sure looked after.
Based on mine I would recommend all day long.
How many litres of oil did it need in the end?
Believe was just shy of 7 off top of my head
@@rjwakeman my one was the same 7.5 from new

Fair point
