all i do is remove the two 10mm bolts from the back and pull it down so i can see drain plug, wi a long extention to remove it the tray makes a great funnel to drain oil into a bucket!!!

just remember to wash the old oil foo after

If your feeling adventurous, before you refit the umpteen different size bolts, you might want to search

Hopefully you have a pre 04, the 04 on front bolts are less accessible. If you have a TD4 cut a hole to get to the drain plug. With petrol you need to access the filter.

Modifying it isn't only adventurous, it's essential. Two bolts at the rear & two at the front now releases the whole plastic undertray on mine leaving the frame in place.
