  I am not sure if you can get K&N Gold series oil filters in the UK?
  
  I get them here in the USA, but they are supposedly made by K&N who are a British company?
  
  Excellent filters
  
  Anyone?

      Thanks a lot but I could only find air filters listed there and I have those,( Kand N s).
      This surely must be a rather basic enquiry for many members. Please share your knowledge.
      (that reads rather dictatorial, I mean it to read as a plea.)

        I just buy my filters from whatever motor shop I have to be near at the time.

          OK, now I am at home, I can check my oil filter lists:
          
          My engine is 1971 Vitesse Mk.2 2-Litre,
          
          I do not use the original paper Unipart GFE131,
          
          I am using the MOCAL oil filter adaptor:
          
          In the UK, I used, (in order of preference), the following:
          
          Unipart GFE173
          Halfords HOF200
          Champion C104
          Crosland 529
          Motaquip VFL123
          
          Here in the USA, the above are not available, so instead I use, (in order of preference):
          
          K&N HP1002
          Fram TG3614
          Fram PH3614
          Carquest 85348
          
          The much vaunted 'non-return valve' is in fact nothing more than a thick rubber flap located immediately behind the small holes in the bottom of the filter!
          
          Hope this helps

            The filters with the non return valve are availible from Bill Davies, Rarebits4classics. Google is your friend... Not dear either. Hope this helps.

              The Champion ones available from Halfords have the non-return valve rubber flappy thing in them.....

                Your local branch of Halfords must be different to mine! Had a refit & now catering exclusively for boy racers. Motorworld down the street is just as bad, took me WEEKS to wheedle a jar of coppergrease out of them recently. The manager looked about 13...
                Thank god for summer when I can get stuff at rallies, yesterday got some Duckhams Q for £8.50 a gallon or last years record bargain 3 jars of LM grease for a fiver. At that price I don't care if its nicked...

                    I have just got back from 2 weeks in Sri Lanka.
                    On the day we left I changed the oil and used the Coopers filter with the NR valve.
                    Tonight I started her up and NO rattle!
                    NR valves rule OK?
