birdy Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Has anyone had any problems with a td5 oil filter leaking and spinning off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranberry Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Not in the 2 years I have owned mine - would guess that it wasn't correctly tightened to start off with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy andy. Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Not coming off, but they are well known to come loose and leak due the heat from the exhaust if they are not done up tight. Non-original parts are worse for this. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Just changed mine before dinner. It is a pain in the ass to get at so may not have been tightened correctly to start with. The first time I did mine it leaked, now I tighten it as much as I can (which isn't a lot considering it's location). I was very surprised how easily mine just came undone though, it wasn't leaking but was only finger tight to undo so it must have come loose since I did it (only 6000 miles ago). That was a Bearmach filter, just fitted a Mahle. As a side note, the rotor filter was Bearmach and was quiet (which suggests it wasn't working...), I've just changed it for a Mahle filter and it's noisy on shutdown again, and spins for AGES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver110 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Never had one come loose on my td5 Descovery or Defender in 7 years with annual oil changes ,I only ever hand tighten them but do use genuine LR. Kevan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crwoody Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Can't say I've ever had a problem with mine. Maybe it has to do with the rubber seal going soft after a time? that could explain why some do it and not others, different quality components and all that.

scoutboy Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 There is no differance in which filter you use as they are all the same, it dont matter which make you use as they are all made on the same line they are just painted an have a differant screen print of the manufacture name. I know this as i use to work in a filter factory, as many genuine LR filters as i could carry home, also britpart, mann, coopers, fram.

carlosbeldia Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Here in Colombia I only have access to Britpart filters, and never have a problem for leaking or anything with them. My centrifugal is highly noisy and is a Britpart too. The Land Rover centrifugal wasn't noisy at all, but maybe it's because first owner never changed it (first change was made by me on the 120.000 kms). I want to try with Mahle, can anybody give me the reference of the part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hi, just dug the boxes out of the bin. MAHLE OC298 for the cartridge and I'm sorry, my centrifugal filter isn't Mahle (my mistake), it's MANN ZR700 X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
