Must be easier with a ramp, couldn't get the ends of the split pin straightened today as unable to get decent access through the subframe and around the rack whilst lying on my back. I'll go beg a favour with a commercial place with a ramp in the week...

Think it'll need doing sooner rather than later - started her up today whilst she is sitting at my place awaiting propshaft repair and she blew the rubber seal out from the oil filter. Only three hours tidying up to do then
. Sprinty pump sure do shift some oil, even at tickover.

Yes, may revert to standard as at least then the seal is trapped!

Really?
So what is the correct filter for the spin on conversion? I simply replaced like for like with what was on when I bought the car...
