I'd have thought any main dealer would be able to post you a genuine one for a quid or so extra.

Edited because I didn't read properly first time round!

Scoobateers,
Anyone recommend somewhere I can get an oil filter from (mailorder).

cheers

wherever you get it from, make sure it is the correct one, as they have changed filter for 03my turbo's. It does NOT take the normal std filter. Its actually smaller in size so not to absorb heat from the exhaust.

Correct number is: 15208AA080.

Been caught out myself !

with reference to scoobyslut the old filter will fit and is ok to use on recommendation from i.m themselves. when i.m have exhausted their stock of the old 024 filters they will all go over to the 080 filters which will be used on every model inc classics.
we got caught out and asked the question after we had turned a customer away because we didn't have stock but the next day we got a load in.

Just rode 50miles to the dealer this morning to pickup two filters. Got home and checked the part#. Guess what, its the 024 (the old one). I did provide them with my chassis number and they said it was the right one. *RSE.

I'll check the filter thats on the car later, maybe they installed this size on its first service. (is there a quick way to check without jacking it up?)

If it differs I'm gonna give the service manager grief Monday morning.
