considering the filter is £15ish from LR, 6 litres of fully synthetic oil is £20, and the magic spanner is £12 then £27 is a bargain. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

I guess the £27 was just to change the filter... i.e the oil was extra! John

Just finished my first LR2 oil/filter change ,oil no problem 2 minute job,the filter......who designed or decided that it was a great idea to stick there? The recommendation of the 27mm ratchet spanner was spot on (couldn't do it without),thanks.makes you wonder how many filters actually get changed or just left and filled with new oil??? |

I have recently done mine. Yes it is a right faff to do but I guess that is the price you pay when LR use an off-the-shelf PSA engine in a body that JLR designed. The 27mm ring ratchet is a must! John

Removing the big plastic intercooler pipe that runs down the centre of the rad helps a lot with access, though even that requires a bit of effort getting it off and back on, that allowed me to get the filter out. The ratchet spanners a definite plus too. Once the filter housing is loose enough to turn by hand, you can stand at the side of the vehicle, get your arm in there and unscrew it with your right hand fairly easily.

iain - check out Asda first before you buy oil from Halfords, they usually cheaper but you'll need to go to one of the larger ones. MY2010 TD4 HSE Santorini Black, 19" Alloys, Almond Leather, Lux Pack, Rear Spoiler, Adaptive Xenons |
