Ordered these Wednesday evening got them today. I know you can get slightly cheaper alternatives but delivered for free within 36 hours and genuine Bosch are a bargain I think

Used them a lot for service and brake stuff, always competitive. Interestingly all their stuff comes with Eurocarparts stock labels but the Eurocarparts site is more expensive?

I got mine today , it does not look quite right, being (I think ) little too big it also says on the box for Rover and Vauxhall.

Have you fitted yours yet ?

Got mine yesterday too and had the same thought. Haven't checked it through yet - did try and find the Bosch part number recommendation on here but, surprise, the search is down and google was being it's usual random self.

I'd guess it's unlikely to list it for the original Ford application as that one is the one that doesn't fit!

The S series alternative parts list gives loads of options but predictabley not Bosch , hopefully the OP will be along and re-assure us that it fits !!

Mine fits ok but can't leak check under running engine as only bottom half together due to ongoing rebuild. Filter filled with oil, spun onto thread, seal met sealing face ok and no oil leaked from full filter so have no reason to suspect not ok. I have the email where they sent me link to that item as correct for the short type to fit cologne though and can forward if you have any issues with refund if the ones you got don't fit. Don't forget though critical dimensions are thread and seal diameter and height only for TVR, the filter itself may be larger diameter but stillG be ok. My box doesn't say Vauxhall on it though I just hope link is correct-it looks the same and I cut and pasted it from the email so it should be.
