Hi Yan
Yes you are correct, Jumped in with both feet and got a remote filter kit, then found out the filter needed for the remote mounting was a ford fitment. went into euro car parts to see what filters would fit and got talking to the guy there explaining that the existing filter was to long and i needed to fit a remote, he went into the stores and came out with a mondeo filter. It was at this point he also pulled out another filter and said "is this filter short enough it will screw straight on" not having the car with me i bought both just in case.
I now have a never used remote filter kit with mondeo filter spare
Yours if you want it £20-00 +p&p
