[QUOTE="bitwrx, post: 7106159, member: 86972"] Everyone's favourite 2013 MLA 630... She's a beaut! FPT engine. Dealer quoted £34+VAT for the engine oil filter; online it appears to be available for £21, incl VAT. So basically half price. All good, unless the online stuff is counterfeit. Thanks all for the recommendations. I'll get on the phone tomorrow. In the meantime, does anyone know why we have air leaking into the fuel system in between the tank and the pre-filter? Engine runs OK, but it takes a lot of cranking to get it started. The fault developed fairly briskly, over a couple of days. The system primes OK with the manual lift plunger, then air bleeds in from somewhere (we can hear it, but can't locate exactly where). I've replaced the hose from the tank to the filter head - which was in a pretty shoddy state - but the problem persists. Is there any chance the diaphragm in the lift pump has split? We've confirmed that fuel isn't flowing back through the filter head, so presumably there's a non-return valve in there which is working properly. [/QUOTE]
