First - here is the oil filter. To the left is the filter I bought two years ago from the Jag dealer, to the right, the revised filter with amended numbers.
These are for the S1 Roadster. You should check compatibility for subsequent 3.0Litre engines. Remember that the S1 doesn't accept the Mondeo ST 220 filter.
This time I'm using Mobil Super 3000 5-30 fully synthetic which is listed for this engine. It was 20% discounted at Halfords on special offer. I bought 10L because the engine capacity (from memory) is a bit over 6L.
These are my latest acquisitions - all fine (thin) leather except for the yellow, which is quite thick.
And here is why I bought them, (not the only reason).
Here's the cowl lower edge.
Cowl upper: The Vaseline is obvious. The red patch is bigger than necessary but the tinwork here looks better fully covered than part covered. The hinge plate is covered with thin black leather. I use two thicknesses of double sided tape, depending on how much space there is.
And bonnet front corner. Here the overlapped edge means that a stepped thickness is needed, so there's a strip of neoprene to level the buffer. On this corner (and elsewhere), the paint had rubbed off.
Here's Bumble's lower cowl where I used a piece of yellow. It's a good match but all the remaining buffers are black.
Finally, do you have an elongated steering wheel boss as below, and does it reflect into the screen?
I made up a leather cover for my Roadster a few years ago. And there was enough left over for one more cover. The offcut came with a turned over and stitched edge.
If you would like this cover, which attaches with a strip of double sided tape, (stitched end away from steering wheel), send me a PM and you can have it! Only one available though.
