Barnes - Assistant Manager}8/KW21.1.41. I was wondering whether you have heard anything further from the makers with regard to this owner's request for the fitting of the external oil filter. We have had no communication from them, and meantime the owner is asking whether it is likely they will have the necessary parts for the fitting of the filter ready in the near future. Bs.{A J.
