Hey,
Today I made a major mistake, long story short I think i've overtightened the oil canister when putting it back on today and now it's got a major leak from the nut on the right, rather than from the oil seal at the engine end.
The major issue i've encountered is this part seems to not be available anywhere!
Does anyone have a lead on where I may be able to find this part? I'm not completely sure i've damaged it; but without a replacement its hard to compare.
in the UK so mini parts are plentful, but only for manuals it seems.
Thanks in advance.

The oil filter can is used on a number of other vehicles, Aston Martin DB 4-6, Austin 6 cylinder, Ferguson Tractor, Standard Vanguard, There are possibly others including Sunbeam and Volvo.

I can be contacted on martin@kmprecisionengineering.com I have these available to ship. A quick check would be to look at the seal end if it flat its ok if not then its scrap, I also have new O rings that help to seal better as they are not old and hard. |

Hi,
Looks like we’ve already contacted. I sent you a message on Facebook, and you sent me a emailed invoice last week which has been paid.
Just awaiting the part being sent. Last name Marchant.

Use the new O-ring as its softer so will not damage the bolt head end as easily as an old o-ring
