Looking back into engine compartment on your left hand side of engine. Easier to see sometimes from below, depending on bash plate fitted.

CATS

Yip,
Take off the bash plate and attack from below.

I heard 4e talk about a filter relocation kit - what does this entail?

The setup looks almost identical to the diesel filter setup.

i guess it will make it easier to get hold of the filter for changing it with a service but now you got more pipes to worry about that can burst and perish with time i think

Marius some questions: In your opinion is it worth moving the oil filter and where would you move it to? If one were to move it up higher so as to access easier from inside the engine compartment rather than from the bottom, would the oil flow/ pressure be affected. Would it not be better to use Stainless pipes rather than the rubber pipes, or at least the braided pipes shown on the Diesel fuel kit?
From whom is the kit available?

It definitely helps for a cleaner service when changing the oil.
No, it doesn't affect the pressure.
Yes, I would use braided hose with the correct pressure rating.
Only kits I could find online was on ebay and they are not exact in their size specs so I won't go that route.

I would move it next to the diesel filter so I can spot leaks easily. And possibly pair it with this for extra cooling.
