I too bought one of these elements off Clive a number (?) of years ago and fitted it and forgot about it. It was a great replacement at the time - thanks Clive. But now reading this I realise that maybe I should take it out and clean it once in a while, although the car, like many I guess, doesn't exactly do many miles each year.
What is the procedure for this does any one know. If it was oiled (not sure mine was), I guess you cant just blow it out it must have to be cleaned in some sort of solvent. What is it then re- oiled with? Something special I would have thought not just engine oil?
Any ideas?
Keith, see below. First link I found, so you may be able to find cheaper.
