Thanks Rod comes with 3 filters so should be a while before I have to buy more

Just be aware Paul, if you fit it incorrectly you will have no oil pressure. The non return valve in the filter will stop oil flow. Ask me how i found that out. Mine had no instructions when i got it and it can be fitted two ways.

You might find the reason you are having trouble with the filter leaking is that a lot of the cartridge filters seem to come
with a neoprene ring now instead of a rubber one. I had trouble on my Fergy diesel tractor with the cartridge filter housing
leaking and ended up reusing the rubber ring from an old filter, it stopped the problem. I had reconditioned the Fergy motor
several years back and fitted a new oil pump, so it had plenty of oil pressure, and under pressure the neoprene rings would
slip sideways and cause a leak. The old rubber sealing rings had little lines on them and they seemed to stay put easier.
However I agree a "spin on" filter adaptor is the better option.

Cheers, Mick.

Unfortunatly supplier doesn't ship Australia

managed to get a 1/4 turn on filter holding bolt, will keep looking for an adapter that's reasonably priced.

Does anyone know the size of the rubber sealing ring Micks talking about and wether they can be bought somewhere

Cheers Paul

Most likely issue is the sealing ring is damaged or has dirt in the groove - easy to do either. Easiest and cheapest way to get a replacement ring is to buy another filter - they are cheap!

You could put a 200Tdi oil filter adapter on if you can find one

John I think I will try this I thought everything was clean when I fitted new filter..........but there was a lot going on at this stage of the freshen up and maybe I didn't clean as well as I could have
