Went into a Auto one spares shop today to grab some filters It went like this.

ME, " G/Day mate, i would like a oil and fuel filter for a 96 landrover Defender."

Him. Brings it up on the computer, goes out the back and returns with a filter thats nothing like it. (The oil filter).

Me, Very polite and calm, " AH !, this is not right mate to small!"

Him. Thats the part no!!, thats the filter!, there"s the number on the side.!

Me. Still calm Just!, "Its not the right one mate!! nothing like it"

Him with the chits, "Thats the number for a 96 Lancer"! spins the screen around,"Have a look"!!.

Me. with the chits, LANDROVER DEFENDER!!! OIL& FUEL

Him , OH!! we don't carry them!!.

Then proceeded to the next required item, a oil cap for the tappet cover on a toyota workmate ute 2000 model.

He handed me a cap which ithought looked about right only to get home and find it to bloody small.

You have to have the identical part in your hand, to compare! or do a full on check of all part nos Yourself! and ring before you go.


Cheers Axle.
