Trying to change the engine oil & filter on my 02 2.6 today and whilst trying to change the filter the whole of the bloody housing started to turn, finally got it off but the cast that locates into the block had snapped. To compound the issue I was on a pit in work when I shouldn't have been, the only thing I could do was put it back in place and tighten the hollow allen bolt that secures the housing to the block, it seemed to have worked but does anyone have any views on it with regards to fitting it back with the locating cast missing ? that's if the cast is just for locating in position !! any advise welcome.

i recently changed the oil cooler on my 2.6 and did the oil and filter as well.so i know the filter cap u speak of! i'm just struggaling 2 think of this locator u speak of??. but any if u have managed to screw it back in and its not leaking just keep an eye on it for a while i cant imagine it should give u any probs matey...if it does then take wheel and inner plastic arch off for better access that might giv u more options ?!?!? sorry i cant give u a better answer :-[?!?!?.. :y

It's all part of the casting, but I think you're right, it's not leaking at the moment so I'll leave it, but next oil change I think I'll have a go at the modification with the canister type !
Cheers buddy
