Re: Brown Trouser time
 Dear god, with that lot I'm surprised you managed to pull over! IS this what they call slick tyres?  That mechanic wants stringing up! How much has left the engine, and did you catch it in time before totally knackered ?

Re: Brown Trouser time
Willing to bet the old filter came off, leaving the seal mated to the engine cases, and the new filter & seal were fitted on top, giving a double layer of rubber seals. This is not twice as good
 Generally under pressure the old one gets pushed to one side and the oil gets moving sideways!As said by others, well done on keeping it up! Jambo

Re: Brown Trouser time
I wouldn't mind, I only took it in to get the shims checked, never even asked for an oil & filter change. I went in today and the manager of the company apologised profusely and paid for all the parts I got on Sunday, and is replacing all brake pads and any engine damage in the future he will rectify FOC.

Re: Brown Trouser time
That's pretty bad to say the least. What did the guy use to put that filter on? It looks scored.
