I have had a good day in the garage today,my good mate Coozer came over and between us we have got the engine in the bay,albeit temporarily due to having the wrong clutch plate
I also have a small problem concerning the oil filter-it wont fit where it should due to the steering shaft being there.
So my question is this,what have all you mk guys done to get around this?
I have looked on the bay and can buy a remote filter kit for £70 but wont buy until i have covered all my options.

Thanks,

Andy

hi andy, have a look in my photos under engine, i used a smaller filter.

Small filter for me as well. Halfords HOF266 fits my Blacktop.

Fiesta filter fits

Thanks for the replies guys,i should have explained that my engine is a 1.8 silvertop and the filter is in a different position.Its on the ally housing on the front so is realy close to the shaft.

I had the same issues so fitted remote filter (and cooler) on mine
