sighh got told i will need a custom made fitting for my sandwich plate, which will cost 70 bucks.

gunna try and find a oil cooler supplier to sort me out. :S

dont see how its so hard myself, even if its in two pieces it wouldnt matter, may try and find another fittings place later during the week.

will get me out of trouble, where the f**k sells these things???

i have stuff at work but nothings really right.

will probably get away with air fittings if i use enough thread tape.

Dude don't be a tight ass as you will regret it, if it comes loose or fails you can not only kill the engine but dump oil all over your rear tyres and put it into a wall.... Sorry for the lecture, but do it right man :yes:

Matt, just read your comment on the jb clutch.

Haven't driven with my yet, but engaging/disengaging = worlds of difference. Just more feel to it already with the modified spring.

I haven't driven it properly, just cruised around the streets to bed the suspension in ready for the alignment tomorrow... Cars running like shit :/

Clutch is amazing, flutter is hektic uleh and gate is loud :D

its not a matter of being a tight ass, its that id be paying half of what i paid for everything for something worth 5 bucks. its a simple piece that should be common as. i think ill check out a few other places on wednesday as he only looked through like 10 boxes of stock :S

Ok so the sandwich plate goes between the filter and thread that the filter screws onto. There's a hole in the sandwich plate for the original thread to go through. The hole in the plate is also big enough for a round fitting to screw onto the old thread, that centers the plate and tightens it at the same time from the hex that is between the female and male threads.

The male thread is on the other side of the hex that sticks out of the sandwich plate for your filter to screw down to

As seen here. So f**kin easy yet no one has one :(

It's just a female to male extension of the same size and I bet my old workshop would have one :(

I just found out pirtek is in Cardiff so they may be able to help. Also Gunna hunt for one on eBay now

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
