That's great Steve. Thanks for the prompt response. Really appreciated.
The Bosch filter I bought didn't have the rubber top hat seals either end, but looking through your how to, there seem to be variations in the filters available. Just hoping it works as it is supposed to. Perhaps the listing is for the BMW M47 and has just been copied for the M47R?
I took care to protect the alternator from contamination following your post here. I may wait until the next change is due to add the missing o ring if it isn't likely to affect the performance.
May main concern was that I was expecting the oil light to take a bit of time to go out while the system settled, but it went out straight away. Hopefully this is a good thing!
