Parts list

[Roger G.Brown]

Morning folks. Somewhere in this forum I found a really useful parts listing. It had things like oil filters and options, spark plugs, oil type (?), Origins of ball joints etc along with part numbers. I didn't bookmark it and now I can't find it again. Can anyone help please? I particularly want to track down oil filter options. Thanks.

I've got a huge update from Steve Parker for this and it struck me that I need to automate the system so people can contribute. That's sat in the rather enormous to-do list along with Steve's document. If anyone wants a copy then email me and I'll forward it.

Oil Filter Options

I'll quote a previous post of mine for you then

quote:
So I booked monday and tuesday off to give me a 4 day weekend to get the S from under the Tarpaulin and onto the road.. (it hasn't moved since 14th July last year )

Anyway.. Saturday morning.. Change Plugs (replacing a perfectly good set of NGK's with a set of Motorcrafts (which have a tapered seat to match the head unlike the NGK's) (Note to StevePub, points gaps in Metric would be nice )

Saturday lunchtime having drained the sump (and why is there a plastic sump washer?), get the old filter off the engine (chain extractor thingy was great) and get ordered filter our of box.. doesn't look right.

So I'm now in the land described in the bible of a Standard 2.9 cologne oil filter in one hand and the shorter old filter in the other D'oh. So into the Puma and an eventful afternoons filter shopping ensued:

Results.. the filter required is from a Granada with power steering as it required a shorter filter to fit the PS in the engine bay, the same filter is also used on old 2.0l Renault Meganes.

The Parts available are:

Powertrain PMFL76
Coopers Z501
Champion C106
Fram PH2854
Motorcraft EFL-38

I've fitted the Coopers Z501 which went in really easily (and is a nice shade of blue with silver writing) but the Fram is exactly the same just with different words in the silver writing

So anyone thinking of an oil change, these are some of the current options on filters. I'm sure ther are others i.e bible says someting about a DAF which I'm sure is right too, but these are the ones that cross matched to the Motorcraft Filter.

Cheers,
Matt.

Moorsey,

have a look back in the archives on this S site, there is quite an extensive thread on this subject started by Pete W.

Congrats on your purchase BTW

[johno]

Moorsey,

Try posting this on the Chimaera forum as they will have some model specific suggestions for you.

Cheers

Probably the last update, have moved onto a Chimaera. Hopefully a similar list will be created for this.

No longer an S owner but thought it may be of use, so spent hours doing the list for you all.

That would be really handy so that any useful nuggets of information could be contributed when they're discovered, and before they're lost/forgotten.

[roger brown]

Steve Parker, thank you so much for the alternative parts list and for all the effort you clearly put in it.
