Doesn't look hopeful. I have not tried OCW but I have tried a Bosch agent in Ipswich and they said that virtually no-one - and certainly no-one local - does Bosch oil filters anymore for any vehicle.

They do a range of BluePrint filters though. These are Japanese made (BluePrint are OE on Mitsubishi) and the MX-6 / 626 / Probe item is made to the same spec as the one you get from Mazda and it is a quid cheaper. I'll try that when I've got the new pump and timing belt on (blast the East Anglian weather!!!).

Maybe I should have asked for a BluePrint Corvette filter? oh well, next time perhaps.

regards,
