The one that takes the oil from the engine to (or from) the filter? That one's fairly important.

Just get another - I'm sure they're not exactly in short supply!

I can't remember if ones from all the other A series fit, but if so it opens up the chances of getting one locally and cheaply I'd think :)

Hello Jimmy,

"can I cut the bend out and put a piece of flexy pipe in "

I would not recommend that, if it slips off or bursts when you are running you will dump all your engine oil in a very quick time.

If memory serves this is a pretty direct feed from the pump so at full pressure you will dump all your oil quite quickly too

I am a member of various forums on the net and the MM forum I have found to be the most helpful, and I would like to say a big thank you to you all and you are a credit to the club of which I am proud to be a member, although I do not attend rallies (funds being some what limited for an OAP) I do enjoy reading the message board and I feel as thou I no you all personally Willie,Alec,Andy to name just 3 but the list is endless. Keep up the good work all for with out you the Moggy novice's amongst us would have no one to turn to.
