Hi,

Most members use Milners, great parts and next day delivery.
There is also a Forum Discount code to get an extra 5% off the price

Thanks for that, The only problem with is the postage, not worth shopping with them just for the filter, Postage £13 which is quite a hike.

You could buy the whole service kit then you have all the items for your next service

I know but which one , I have 6 choices, other than taking off the filter first, Which I don't really want to do, Hence me seeking advice to know which one.

Thanks for your help/advise though.

Here is my options

Get the code off your old filter,
Halfords should be able to match it up

not sure that I would be able to without actually taking the filter out, I was kind of hoping that one of our members might already know the part number.

Ok, Thanks, I'll try that , in your opinion would you use a Halfords filter or go with an original? Not knocking Halfords as I use them a lot o=for the other cars. Just asking?

I only ever used Mitzi for all service items, had too many problems with Non Gen filters in the past on Transits.
They are not cheap either, about £30

I just phoned the local Mitsi garage and they are £21 for an original

Yeah prob come down in price since i last needed any, it was 18 months ago.
Not got an L200 anymore

Well to be Honest, I assumed that it would be original. Have to check, but will take your advice and stick with original on fuel filter.

scratch that just called them again and it is a value part recommended by Mitsi, ( supposed) not sure why they would of course.

I've always used genuine filters as they aren't that much more than the non oem ones
genuine oil filter for a classic (with sump washer) from main dealer was about 12 quid so I never bothered with getting cheaper ones
fuel filters were a bit more
