Pete Lewis Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 thats nowt to do with the spin on filter its either spurious or packing for some obscure reason i would put it in the might be useful one day but not for oil changes Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 No that looks like it goes on your dipstick to seal it - a freebie! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piran Posted October 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Brilliant thanks. Just doing oil and water change. Oil change done 👍 water less so as one of the bolts holding the thermostat in has sheared 😔 now I need to work out the size of the bolts get a couple more and see if I can get the other bolt and the remains of the first one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johny Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Reckon it must have fallen in there by accident as not something youd usually expect to come with the filter - quite useful though👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Out of curiosity did a new drain plug come in the filter box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piran Posted October 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Well that was me being a Muppet - I bought the stuff for the coolant change from the club shop, and the stuff for the oil change from somewhere else, just spotted the invoice which says that it's for the dipstick. On another note I've got the thermostat housing off, now have two snapped bolts to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham C Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Oh well, that shows our experts were correct. The important thing is do not mix up your coolant and oil. 😀 Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
