I think it is Sharon or I may have made that up at AP well I spoke to her and made her blush when she forgot the phone was on and let rip at someone made me laugh the oil was about the same but she was really helpful about delivery etc so I thought as it worked out about the same I may as well spread the love and mention this site and order from them

ps
did the photos give you enough to decide long or short??

Also remember that you may not need one.
My 2001 version had a tapered drain bolt in the bottom of the oil tank, so no washer needed.
After the thread stripped on mine I fitted another oil tank off a scrapped 2002 Yellow Falco and that had a flat base and drain bolt with a washer.
It seems they did vary and it could be either one.
But then again the custard flavoured Falcos were always a bit "different". :smt017
