Ok kids. The man from Vauxhall’s no longer sells the screw in fitting thingy. Anyone got a spare they could sell to the bear 🐻
Run the part number through ebay/google :y

Alternatively Nick W can probably give you the dimensions from memory  8)

it's a tube about 50mm long threaded M18x1.5 externally. Not worth making one when you can buy them from QED motorsport for £12. Look on the lubrication page for XE engines. Or unscrew one from any dead Vx or Ford 4 cylinder that you might have lying around - I know a Pinto one works, which means X-flow Cologne and CVH will, and so will either of the Rootes 4s.

Evening gays, I mean guys 😃

Sorry for bumping but I forgot to ask....

I am going to be converting this to spin on filter (not only will it sort my immediate leak issue but I actually prefer them) and I was just wondering what I should torque the new fitting to? I’m thinking 45nm as per the old filter housing? TIA 👍

Hand tight like all spin on filters should be bear.

It's in Haynes iirc. Degrease thread and block and insert with permanent threadlock. Allow to cure before fitting filter...  ;)
