Flipping oil filter wrench has snapped. Oil pi**ing everywhere and had to resort to plunging a screwdriver into it. Don't you hate it when a 5 minute job turns into a 1 hour nightmare!

For the record, I've found getting a rag and a pair of mole grips and twisting it as tightly as possible, also works for extra leverage to get oil filters off without the mess :)

they shouldn't be that tight.. most should undo by hand and mole grips get the ones that are over tightened

It was mainly due to the fact the engine isn't an A-series. On my Vauxhall engine it's positioned horizontally which makes it really awkward.
