Lots of reading on here ,i need an oil filter and know unless i want to remove the front bumper i need a oil filter that is 50mm high ,so my question is: Has anyone yet sourced a reasonably priced filter to fit the 660 cc @50mm as all the ones i see are 65 mm high ,links would be great thanks
I've got a new one in my garage which I bought from the local motor factor. Ill dig it out and send the part number. BTE good video on youtube showing how to fit the filter from under the car Ned
For aftermarket oil filter you can use a D-Sport Copen filter (available via Japan), or a Mahle OC487. Both will fit through the hole in the engine bay. The blueprint filter cannot fit properly, as it's just a tiny bit too big. Don't forget the special oil filter tool to get it off and on.
Hi, Got the filter and removal tool on my desk. The filter isn't branded but just has the number D102004/YACMCS on it. The box has a logo "SA plus union jack and the no - D102004) As I say, got the lot from my local motor factor for around a tenner. Ned
Brill thanks guys ,just got one £11 with delivery ,just over half price of ones ive found from here. http://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/index.asp?function=SEARCH
Don't forget the special tool, unless you don't mind the "stab the old filter with a screwdriver method"! Any motorbike place should have it. From memory I got http://www.amazon.co.uk/FILTER-WREN...7&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=motor+bike+oil+wrench or http://www.amazon.co.uk/GG113C-Grem...8-2-spell&keywords=motor+bike+oil+wrench+68mm The exact tool should be in another topic.
Is this the correct oil filter for my 2005 0.7 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oil-Filter-D102004-/181668835280?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6390 Thanks in advance.
aarrggghhhhh!!!!! The search continues. I Ordered a Mahle OC487 months ago ,so today i decided to service the car with it ,got the old filter off ok got my new filter out and DISASTER the filter was a Mahle OC215 the wrong size!!! had been sent and i had not checked it. Ive just looked and cant find a filter that fits anywhere? Does anyone have a LINK to a compatible filter 50mm high one?
I've been told, never tried it myself, that the Blueprint filter is just small enough to fit through the engine bay hole. I asked MicksGarage to measure the height of the filter - here is the image they sent. Free postage if you buy a few of them (> 30 EUR / 30 GBP total order cost) Looks like filter you took off is the blueprint one I listed
The local motor factors had to order the smaller one in as all the ones in stock were too big. Would be interested to know how much people are paying for them as I thought the one I purchased was mightily expensive.
So ive now managed to order the correct oil filter.Now even better is knowing the part number i can order them at a realistic price! £8.35 inclusive of postage http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Blue-...155?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e9fb8f74b Here is the boxed correct filter ,should this be posted as a sticky?
It's coming up as £22! The MicksGarage link comes up as 18 EUR (dunno what their price is in pounds) which is considerably more affordable.
