Fuel filter

Can someone tell me please is a Lucas FDB 104 the correct filter for a S2 2.9 ?

Looks right. You may be able to get Fram G3744 cheaper.

Here is the parts list from the 'useful information' at the top of the forum:

Hope this helps

...do you mean this one Mike?...as it is not listed on the alternative parts lists, but it is cheap (again!)...I presume the 2.9 cat cars are the same as the others?



- PS what is the simplest source of the copper washers and part nos to ask for?

[phillpot]

That looks like it Andy, the one I bought came with two washers which is a bit odd as you need two each end?

Unless the copper washers are physically damaged or heavily corroded they can easily be re-used. They just need annealing first: heat the washer until cherry red (butane torch or gas cooker) then immediately plunge into cold water until cold. Rub any deposits off with your fingers while they are still wet. You should now have nice pink soft washers to reuse.

Wee update on the Crosland filter, I purchased a couple of these and they both came with 4 new copper washers in the box.

Just a little tip I forgot to add last time this came up. When you have got the old filter off it may be worth cutting it open. When I first did this a few years ago the brown flecks were the first indication of rust coming through, and remember that anything in there has first had to come through the pump.
