can any one tell me what purpose does the oil pipe (just above the oil switch)serve from the oil filter housing to the side of the engine, and is it realy needed.

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
