Hi folks, I've done some searching and cannot find any guides or instructions for how to change it... Is it as simple as out with the old in with the new, crank a few times and finished? Reading the LCR guide it says to remove the fuse for the pump. Is that needed for the ARL engine...

Ok, so i've got this 1.2 Ibiza, i was thinking maybe its a small engine, it'll be low on the MPG, therefore saving me costs, so i noticed i was paying more than i expected on the fuel, so last time i filled up, i put a full tank of Shell V Power, and reset the mileage counter. I just took the...
