Hi All,
Having finally got the budget to put my Mini back on the road after 9 years, all the work is done and ready for the MOT except, that it needs a new Oil Filter Housing, and that's proving a little tricky to track down. If anybody has one they would be willing to sell (in the U.K.) I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.
Thanks

Is it the long bowl type that you are after? If so this was used on many other engines, Austin/morris 6 cylinder, Aston Martin !!, Vanguard, Grey Fergie Tractor. Jock

Thanks for the reply.
No, it's not the 'bowl' part itself, but the housing that it fits to.
I've not had it in hand personally. My car is with a local Mini specialist, but this part is being a bit elusive. To the best of my knowledge that particular part is specific to the Automatic A-series.

Hi, sounds like you are going to have to phone around the wreckers, sorry I don't have one. Jock

I think we still need to know if it is the fat or long bowl. I might have the housing for a fat one if my location in Canada is no issue.

It's the longer, hopefully these pictures might help clarify. Attachments:

That clears it up perfectly.. Sorry but mine is the shorter fat type. Wish you good luck.

Thanks Robert, I really appreciate that. Sadly I checked with the guys doing the work on my car, that’s not quite right. Thanks again.

Thanks to everybody for their help. I'm pleased to report that the part was sourced, and I should have my car back on Friday!
