AND FREE IS NOT GOOD IN THIS CASE !!!
MG Rover have changed the LPW100181 oil filters which were / are the "OEM" filter for the K Series and they are now 15% longer, that's 13 mm. We used to stock and sell loads of the original filters, but not any more they are just too long.
You can read all about it on our website if you fancy (https://www.carservicepacks.co.uk/2025/01/16/lpw100181-oil-filter-15-extra-free/ ) but basically with the proximity of the oil filter and the exhaust, the last thing you need is the filter being 13mm closer to the manifold.
The previous version of the LPW100181 was made by Borg and Beck so we have gone back to these filters for all of our K Series server kits, along with Blue Print and Mann
