Out of interest[and possibly to buy one-just in case] I asked at a dealers about that nipple and they told me Vx dealers no longer stock them and there was only one available in the country-somewhere down South-at a price of £25 How true this was[after all we all known how reliable some dealer parts staff can be]I don't know-I didn't order it anyway!

The problem is cant find any of them. nor can I find any of the original parts that i would grudgingly put back on to the car if i had too. there must be someone somewhere who has one they could sell me..

the same part is used in most other Vx engines that use a spin-off filter. M18X1.5 is a common filter thread, and I know that Ford use a fitting that will work.

Ok cheers Nick. I did ask my sister whose other half works in a parts factor if there was anything else that might do the job but he apparently said he doesn't know..

Well I've looked around and I cant find either the tube to convert it to spin on filter or put it back to the old annoying setup. does anyone have anything I could buy to sort my car out as I'm getting really fed up with it.

how about the ebay link i posted? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281042112447

There are two M18 nipples listed on that ebay site - which one, please?

Ron.

I have a nipple which I purchased from main dealer (sorry but it is my fall back when the canister gets stuck) but my point is that the threads look identical ie not different diameters as the ebay ones. the nipple is 25mm long 17mm dia. thread length 8.5mm each end, bore 12mm don't ask me what thread but they look identical. Its just a straight pipe threaded at each end.Do you know a machine shop.

[robson]

I said 17mm dia but could be M8 is that 18mm dia?

[robson]

sorry get it right M18.Back to bed I think.

PM sent Neil.

As I was passing my dealer I asked about the nipple part no.90412159 they said no stock any anywhere in UK maybe in Germany. Price £21.30.I think Nick should make some.

[Bigron]

If Nick is listening, I would be interested too. Serek did my last oil change, so I know that it will have been done properly, but the future is unpredictable so having one as insurance would be worthwhile.
The ebay link that migmog kindly posted has a hexagon in the middle and some doubt was raised about possible interference with the fitting?

Ron.

[robson]

 ebay one didn't it have different threads at each end.

Pretty sure Vauxhall have been using the same thread size forever across all their engines (M18x1.5), in which case this should work to allow you to convert to spin-on: http://qedmotorsport.co.uk/qed-shop/vauxhall-xe-c20xe/lubrication/standard-filter-adaptor

'Problem' solved. As I posted previously, I couldn't justify making one when they cost so little to buy. Or if I couldn't scrounge one from another engine.
