   Currently changing my oil filter on my 1.6 vtr 51 plate, but it does not fit and looks complety different to the old one i took out, the one i bought has a long piece sticking out << http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Citroen-SAXO-1...item3f001557f1
   
   and the one i took out does not, i've been to halfords and wilko and they say thats the only type.
   
   Cheers luke.

   Halfords are useless mate. Can't you go to the oil filter section and look your car up in one of their books? Their books tell you which oil filter you need.
   
   You need one like this
