PeterW Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Has anyone fitted an alternative oil filter to the standard can type found on a 2.25 diesel engine..??? I'm fed up with getting oil down my arm when changing the filter, as the through-bolt type fitted is a pain in the derrierre... I was thinking along the lines of a.n.other vehicle (Sherpa...??) that may have a spin on filter that could be modified to fit... Answers on a postcard please...

simonb Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Been there, done it, need to file the mounting holes out a bit to take the series mounting bolts. Think the series block gasket works ok with it as well. Have a spare one in the garage, pm me if u want it for a small fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehetabel Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Somebody on this side of the pond makes a spin on oil filter adaptor [wise owl or rovers north I think] that is undoubtedly carried by someone on that side of the pond. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle 61 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Somebody on this side of the pond makes a spin on oil filter adaptor [wise owl or rovers north I think] that is undoubtedly carried by someone on that side of the pond.cheers Got one of these fitted to the old Turtle. No worries. Bit fiddely to install but uses the same filter element as Defenders (200/300?). Seems to be OK (last time I looked) and much easier to work with than the original. Worth it.
