thanks for the prompt reply....oil filter used last time was Unipart, had smaller holes than the Peugeot ones, but the ones I've seen this week have less holes and smaller again..........unipart has gone tits up...........incidentaly the old pug oilfilter was really heavy....must have been on the car for ages, heavy due to all the crap that was in it?
its suggested on here to use pug fuel filter.........
how much roughly for pug oil and fuel filter with part numbers please.....so I can compare.........
the 306 bushes look much less hardy than the partner ones so will consider them also.......
the centre steel tube in the bush, is that "keyed" to the wishbone so the bush sits in the right place when fitted, so not wound up to destruction when suspension moves??
wish me luck? that sounds troublesome??

Do all Srowell says and you will be bang on fine.
Pug only use companies like Fram and crossland etc to make the filters so its pointless paying that premium for no more gain
Same with oil. Go on ECP website and buy the best oil you can afford. Shell HX7 is at a cracking price at the mo

I've had no issue with ECP filters so far, I do tend to go for the slightly more expensive ones over the cheapest though.
The P bushes aren't keyed, no. So you need to try and get them as close to the angle that the old ones came off. If your cars lowered move them slightly to reduce stress on them. I had mine pressed off by the local garage, and drifted the new ones on.

I would go for a bosch filter purely because it has the one way valve in it like the Pug one (which i believe is a bosch one anyway?).

thanks for all the relies.....the Unipart filter used last time seemed to have an anti drain valve but had smaller holes compared to the pug one that came off, which was very heavy.........
oil filters I have seen have less holes and smaller holes.........
via pug uk, I messaged them and the local ( local at 50 miles away?? ) dealer phoned me back!!
refused to give part numbers!!!!! but the filter prices are very similar......they had everything in stock......
p bush was quoted at £15 plus vat, a Peugeot part supposed to be, but £15 dead??plus vat
so will call into europparts ( old unipart depot some 18miles away ) and look at the filters........and p bushes
next items are the rearbrake seals kit from big red............had a bad report about them caliper wise.......slide pins incorrectly fitted........but i'm only getting the seal kit, pistons maybe as well......pug do seals kits for the rear bendix disc brakes ?? part numbers and prices again would be a great help for comparison.....

Looks like all rear disc brakes are Bosch on the HDI & just the fronts that differ.
Brake caliper Repair kit for rear Bosch disc brakes is part number 444862 - £56.50

Had numerous issues with crosland filters, take one apart and you'll see why it's cheap, for the sake of another fiver it's worth getting oe quality imo. Same goes for cheap bushes, have had to replace ebay bushes after less than 2 months before.
With regards to oil, tripleqx 5/40 fully synth from euros is silly cheap and perfectly decent for the job, although i see that hx7 piggy linked is currently cheaper.
