Defender TD5 oil filter

Apr 28, 2004 2 Replies

Its probably been asked before- but how do you get to the bloody thing to change it without removing exhaust or turbo oil drain.


I am assuming that your mean the full flow oil filter not the centrifuge rotor. The procedure is as follows

  1. Remove 3 bolts and remove engine acoustic cover
  2. Release clip and disconnect breather hose from camshaft cover
  3. Release clips and disconnect air flow meter from air filter
  4. Disconnect multiplug from air flow meter
  5. Loosen clip screw and remove air inlet hose from turbocharger
  6. Remove 3 bolts and remove manifold heat shield
  7. Clean area around filter head and place a container beneath engine
  8. Using a strap wrench unscrew and discard filter

Hope this helps.

It can be done without taking anything off but is a fiddle.
