The metal plate that sits below the oil filter cartridge has gone missing  - maybe binned in a senior moment?! It's the shorter length type filter. Can anyone spare one, please? Nigel

Hi nit sure if I have or have not as I just have a Diesel engine 5bearing which I stripped a while back as was totally knackered which if this is the part of one then I'm happy to assist you but would have to have a dig about and a pic exactly of what I'm hunting for would help I'm in west Lothian near west calder
Let me know

Hi John.  Thanks for prompt response. Don't have pic 'cos part missing - must have ditched it with the old filter.  Mine is an early 3 brg petrol, but the parts manual says they all use the same filter type RTC 3184.  So I guess your plate should do.  It's a metal disc with a dished centre and central hole for the securing spindle, it lives inside the oil filter housing below the filter element.  I'm in W Stirlingshire. Cheers, Nij.
