They do come apart and the strainer and the body are separate part numbers. But, you most often wreck the strainer when trying to get them apart.
I do not like the look of the muck on the inside funnel shaped part of the striiner might check availablity befor I wreck it?
DS show it as discontinued - might try a bottle brush from the inside with some petrol.

I always soak ours in the parts wash for a few days, rince out thoroughly with parts wasb fluid or diesel and repeat. They always come up nice and clean.

I'll do that Julie just tried a quick petrol wash and it went black immediately so clearly needs a good soak in parts wash - petrol is a bit harsh on the rubber part.

Faced with their imminent extinction :o and if no pattern part emerges to fill the void, can more frequent oil changes be enough to cope with not having one at all?
I suspect it's needed as all cars have them as well as an oil filter- if you have debris in the gearbox for instance (where engine/gearbox share the same oil) it's going to drop into the sump and get sucked into the pick up so a strainer is essential in my view to keep out large bits of metal or rubber etc.
In the complete absence of a replacement I guess it will be a case of adapting one from another engine and joining it to the same end fitting.
