Oh jobby! :o Are you alright apart from the superficial?

What brand of Oil filter was it? Did it explode or did the thread strip? Did it screw on easily?

Yipes!
Are you saying the filter canister itself exploded? If so, that's seriously crap! Worth asking them replace the filter and oil FOC???

Yehh im ok buddy thanks, burbs are not that bad just felt worse when it happened lol...

I fitted it everything was bang on, sealed perfectly it was a hamp shortie filter

Yehh i Removed the old seal haha

It's stripped the thread and forced it off about 2mm making the oil spray in all directions,

Covered the wheels, wall, bonnet, floor everything I think it's funny now but at the time I was fuming wish I had it in tape I must of jumped 6ft back from it lol
