RT 1006 137 Posted December 3, 2017 Right, before anyone thinks these are a great deal and look cool https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CORTINA-MK3-MK4-MK5-1-6-2-0-NEW-OHC-PINTO-OIL-FILTER-REPRO-EFL-90-STICKER/162738570402?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 don't be stupid. Go to you're local Ford parts department and you'll get a PROPER Motorcraft EFL90 filter for about a fiver and not some crap Chinese thing with a tacky looking sticker slapped on the side of it for almost twice the price.

RT 1006 137 Posted December 4, 2017 This is my favourite line in the listing "THIS IS A CHEAP WAY TO GET THAT CONCOURSE LOOKING OIL FILTER". Or an an even cheaper way would be to go and get a genuine Motorcraft one in the first place :lol: . Ten out of ten to the seller, everyone loves a trier.

wolfrace 116 Posted December 5, 2017 I wish. My local fords told me their parts list went back to something like the mid 80's, the young lad wasn't remotely interested in what I was enquiring about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RT 1006 137 Posted December 6, 2017 cost me more than £3 to drive to my local ford dealer and about an hour round trip Only a 15 minute bike ride for me so I get free exercise as well, and yes a finis number is benificial. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
