6 If oil leakage from the pipe unions on later
1275 cc (12A) engines has been experienced,
a modified pipe and tube nut assembly is
available. Consult a Rover dealer for further
information on this modification.
Refitting
7 Refitting is the reverse sequence to
removal, bearing in mind the following points:
a) Use a new filter housing gasket and new
copper washers at the banjo union.
b) When refitting the delivery pipe with banjo
union fitting, engage the threads of the
union nut at the filter housing first, then fit
the banjo union with a copper washer on
each side of the union head. Tighten the
fittings securely.

refitting

Removal
1 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2 Remove the front grille as described in
Chapter 11.
3 Place a suitable container below the oil
cooler. On Cooper S models, unscrew the two
hose unions from the top of the oil cooler and
move the hoses clear. On 1990-on 1275 cc
engines, unscrew the banjo union bolt on the
top of the oil cooler and recover the two
sealing washers. On all models, cover the
disconnected unions with tape to prevent
entry of dust and dirt.
4 Unscrew the mounting bolts and withdraw
the oil cooler. On 1990-on 1275 cc engines,
unscrew the lower banjo union bolt when
sufficient clearance exists and recover the two
sealing washers.
Refitting
5 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but top-up
the engine oil level as necessary (see “Weekly
Checks”).
