VS series III 3.8l V6
Bought the old girl a couple days ago. Good condition...
But I have two problems,
Got the sump plug off draining oil, but can't locate the bloody oil filter. Anyone with a VS mind telling me the location it's probably covered in **** but I can't see it anywhere.

Secondly, the remote on key won't lock/unlock the car. Took the door trim off this morning to try and work out what was going on, no luck.
I can't turn the key more then a fraction in the exterior lock barrel. And the remote doesn't unlock or lock.
But when doors are shut can lock and unlock from the jnside.
Obviously I need the bastard to lock.
Any suggestions?
Can the remote not working cause this?
I don't think it's jammed or else I wouldn't be able to lock or unlock it from the inside.
Any pointers or anyone that's had this problem before please let me know any response would be much appreciated.
Cheers

You can see the filter on the bottom left of the engine. You should be able to take it off without getting under the car.
