rogerguzzi Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hello All That,s it I have enough oil filters to last for a couple of years! I ordered 3 Mann W916/1 from Euro car spares when they had a big discount on and got 3 for £8.78 inc p&p So there is no excuse for fitting rubbish ones(if you have the 5/8" to 3/4" adapter) Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started up the Herald this morning, first use since Thursday. With the previously fitted B&B filter I would get 3-4 seconds of the death rattle after that sort of period, but not even a hint of it, so early signs are that the Mann filter is doing a good job.

John Bonnett Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I've been using the same Mann filters for over a year now. The anti-drain back device works really well and the oil warning light goes out pretty much immediately. Again, thanks to Clive for providing the adapter.

Clive Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 So glad this has worked well. I have one adaptor left after I deliver 3 to Europe today. But don't expect a response for a week. Off on the 10CR now. Literally,about to walk through the door.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Hello Darren I am pleased they seem to working for you, I have been running Mann W916/1 all this year and I do not get the few seconds of death rattle now(oil light and gauge still a bit slow) When I was running Megajolt I used to turn the fuel pump of and crank engine over for several seconds with the choke in to help build up pressure! Now I just start the car and even when we were in Spain and 35 to 40 degs (oil must have been like Knats pee?)still no rattle Just had a thought with our Microsquirt set up the engine turns over for 2 complete cycles before firing so I suppose that helps But yes John thanks for pointing me in the direction of GOOD oil filters(and no more expensive?)

Clive Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Thanks all. One of our group suffered a puncture, so we detoured to a garage. Happened to be on a commercial centre, so a cake shopping trip ensued. Just had dinner in Lille, ready for the official start tomorrow early morning. I shall endeavour to avoid damaging the car, and do not expect issues. Except the altitude issue, and we are ready with our bodge to get us through. Unlike the pi cars that will suffer...

Anglefire Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Bit of a holey thread resurection! But I noticed that now my car has been run a few times, the oil light is taking a second or so to go out and I get a little bottom end rattle - so was thinking of changing the filter for a better non-return one and get an adapter - is this what I need? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Automotive-Oil-Filter-Threaded-Adapter-5-8-24-to-3-4-16-Black-Anodized-Aluminum-/382289528196 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Not sure that is the correct thread count for the 5/8. Think it should be 5/8 -18? I bought the adaptors from the USA, male thread each end to exactly replace the adaptor fitted to our cars. But it needs a batch of 10 to make postage viable.... Is it worth me importing another batch of 10? Cost would be about £5 each including postage within the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hello Clive. Personally, I think it is and would probably be worth highlighting the issue and solution via a separate thread. I have no doubt there are a number of owners experiencing the same situation as Mark and would be more than happy to have such a remedy. Regards. Richard.

Anglefire Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Seems odd to have to go to the states for what is a comparatively simple item. I’m sure I could get some made given a drawing with the right dimensions- which might be the issue - so the us option might be easier £5 or so is bugger all in the scheme of things !

Anglefire Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Done some digging around (Via the link earlier) and the 5/8 thread is UNF - so pitch 18 as you say Clive - which I can't find! But I've also had is suggested that the Mann W 713/14 is suitable for the stand 5/8-18 thread. But is obsolete....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglefire Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 According to the MANN website, the W 713/14 is still available and does list the Spitfires as one of the applications. https://catalog.mann-filter.com/EU/eng/catalog/MANN-FILTER Katalog Europa/Oil Filter/W 713~14 But I'll still go for the conversion to give several options.

Got one of these adaptors fitted; so I use the Mann W713/9 for which I think the main application is listed as Land Rover Defender!

Hello All I have used Mann filters for about 2 years now and do not get the drain back and buy them from Eurocarparts when they have and offer on (most weeks) They are about £3.50 each and one a year is not going to break the bank I can not be doing with the plain white box offerings!

Anglefire Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I bought 2 Mann W 713/14 from a company that claimed to be in the UK - but they actually came from Germany - and they arrived today (I won't divulge the price in case someone has a dodgy ticker!) But I'd rather put a good filter on now and not have to worry (I hope) about the start up rattle until the adapters come. Give that the oil tends to drain out of the filter, I assume I can just spin the old one off and spin the new one on (Filling with oil first if I can) without dropping all the oil?
