1660 X flow oil filter ?
Discussion
Anyone know what oil filter (part number) should be used for a 1600 X flow ? (mounted on a take off plate on the bulk head, if that makes a difference)
The filter that's on the car now is a Motorquip, but I can't tell the part number (it's against the bulkhead) without removing the filter, and I'd rather have a new filter in hand before destroying the old one getting it off.
Anyone know the Champion part number (Halfords dont stock Motorquip) ?
Cheers !

Thought about that, just was a touch worried that they might be different inside, even if they were visually the same.
Went for a blast last night round the country roads, get back and I've blown an oil seal on the scavenge pump .... leaking oil everywhere. Got my first track day on Saturday. Can anyone spell "panic stations" ?

Good points, all 
Also, glad to know it's a common thing .... I'll get used to it eventually !
Pity really, coz I'd just taken it for a hard, fast drive round the country roads, the first time I'd really hammered it ( a. to see if anything broke, erm, it did ! b. to get used to the car, it's handling etc) It drove beautifully, quite brutal, loud and a touch jittery at very high speeds (30mph if any police are reading this, okay ?!?
) And once the exhaust got hot, you should have SEEN the flames down the side on the overrun (coming up fast to a corner) ... is that normal ?!? 
The pump seems to be lagging out where it mounts to the engine block. I'm hoping it's an easy fix. It's hard to tell coz round that area there's the pump (incl 5 pipes), dizzy and oil pressure sensors, all covered by the inlet manifold and carbs.
If it's just the pump to block mounting which is weeping, can I get away with using some kind of hylomar type stuff (instant gasket) from Halfords, anyone ?

Just an update about my broken stud ....
Got it out yesterday, but only after taking the engine out of the car. When the engine was out, I had clearance enough to use the Snap On tool, though it still took an hour or so to do ! Engine is back in now, and losely bolted up to the gearbox, just need to refit everything up ....
Didn't think that 12 days after buying a car I'd be taking the engine out ! :shakeshead:
