There are two plugs on the rear of the centre axle housing. 32mm socket. Bottom for draining and top one to fill through. Fill til the oil runs out of the top one.You need an oil that is suitable for wet brakes. SUTO 10w30 or SUTO 15w40 or UTTO 10w30. I've had no issues in years with any of these bu...

You mean the filter in the inlet end of the injector pump? Yes you can but need to be very careful doing so. Remove the inlet pipe,then the large plug(15/16'' spanner). Then lift out the spring.

You haven't said which MK of 3C. 1,2 or 3?
The return filter is as below for MK 1 and 2. MK 1 has no door covering it and should be obvious to see.
Bottom picture is of the suction filter for MK 2 and 3. Lie on your back and look up under the step. Don't know if MK 1 has this one or not.

If it's a MK1,I think there's only the big return filter in front of the right hand rear wheel.Might be a suction filter somewhere but I'm not familiar with it. The MK2 will have a suction strainer behind/up under the steps into the cab. Flat plate to come off and the strainer is above it. Also then...

The thermostat should be inside the housing directly above the sensor you have circled in green. Your engine should really start instantly without any heat with that particular starter on it. Wonder if your fuel lift pump has become weak?
