Anyone got an oil filter housing?

Hi All.. grovelling time!

I went outside today and started to swap across Fleur's oil filter housing to Meg. Got as far as taking it off Fleur and snapped the bloody oil temp sender off! Anyway that has kinda made my mind up that I will probably scrap Fleur now! Wonder if I'll make my 300 quid back?

Anyway I wanted to swap them as Meg hit a bump almost a year ago now and snapped the bloody sender connector off so there's no oil temp reading at the moment. I tried to buy a sender and when it came the thread was wrong... it fitted Fleur (although now I can't get the other one out and in trying have cracked the housing casing!!) :shake:.

So I wonder if anyone has a spare housing knocking about? Either one with the sender units already in or hopefully one that my senders will fit in to!



Thanks - oh and to cap it off can't drive Meg at the mo as I put engine flush in so I could do an oil change today and it got so late from buggering about with the casing I didn't get to do it! So I'm lolloping around in Michael.

What a tale of woe, and I'm afraid I can give you nothing but sympathy.:dunno:
