Went to my local stealer today to be told a new one would be £71 ish? how did this happen? what are GM thinking?

[Shackeng]

Is this the filter in the sump? If so I think I paid about £20 from (scratches head) Oh yes JPAT.

Wash it out with paraffin

Yeah for that price I will be washing it out! Just don't understand their pricing policy with stuff

Exactly. Save the money, and wash the old one out. There will be nout in it anyway, unless there's a problem with the box, in which case you won't need the filter anyway, you'll need a new box.  ... Or maybe just a thrust washer.

The filtering of smaller particles is done by the magnet in the sump anyway.

That's a lot of anyways isn't it .

Thanks for the advice!

  I  have replaced one on a 160k AR35  & got it from JPAT. But . . .   I would not bother again as after washing out it came up good as new . Fluid change is the important thing on a high mileage box IMO
