Where's me oil filter went?!?

[Arrolman]

Hi,

Daft question maybe, but I can't seem to find mine?  Which side of the engine is it on ( if im standing at the front looking under the bonnet)

Cheers,

Iain

Not visible from above.  NS low and back on the block.  Get to it from behind NSF wheel.

[Arrolman]

Ok,

Right hand side, low down towards the back, or as Theo says n/s of car

[Arrolman]

Hi,

Only thing I can see at the part of the block is a metal cylinder with a square hole at the bottom, looks part of the block?!?

Im puzzled here.......

Cheers,

Right side of block, near rear. Access via just behind nsf wheel, above the track rods.

If its the later type, its a disposable paper element inside a metal cylinder. Older types are the traditional spin on type...

Hi,

Im presuming the cylinder I see is the oil filter, the original one, its the same colour as the block, im not even going to try and move it, whoever had this car before has been taken for a ride, all the filters were manky and the air filter in the wrong way round, spark plugs were original, brakes are nearly gone, all the drainage holes were blocked, and its got a Full service history!!!! Last service done on the 8th December, what a joke.

Just shows that you can't trust some garages, unreal. :-?

Probably dealer serviced

The round cylinder, perpendicular to block, will contain paper element type filter...

FSH, NOT necessarily true anyway, I'd prefer to trust my general perception of a vehicle rather that some potentially false stamps / receipts, NOT being negative, just truthfull...  As I'm sure the guys on here will say, get that cambelt changed, water pump at same time and why not the aux belt too!!!!  Call it insurance..

Happy New Meega,

Hi,

Cambelt kit, waterpump, Aux belt and HBV are all ready too go on, Just need to find a reputable person up here to do the work, can't believe the amount of people who won't take it on, apparantly too much hassle?

In case you are still looking for it....



The picture shows the old canister type but the locations is the same on newer models.
