I did the Job at Joan and Peter's. It was pretty simple though there were a few minor problems>
Like oil spilt on the driveway and the broken filter housing.

Have ordered a new one from Europart-SD in the USA here for US$30

Here is the filter casing in the engine without the filter holder in and on the right with the broken end of the spigot inserted.

I filled it with 8.5L of Penrite oil and drove back from Joan and Peter's to Helensburgh and checked the oil after 5 minutes and it showed full.
Probably I had not drained the oil fully as the Sprinter wasn't completely level at Joan and Peter's.
