Stumpy oil filter

[peaktorque]

I have now fitted the bloody Range Rover engine in my TVR!

The oil filter would normally be of a remote description, but due to cost cutting on my part I have avoided the necessity of obtaining this additional part.

I thought that the current set-up that came with the engine might just go.

It doesn't. It is too near the steering rack for a standard RR oil filter.

Does anyone know of a fairly short filter that will fit a Rover V8 pre '83?

This is only a temporary bodge until I get my 'better' engine

thanks

try fleabay for a remote filter kit. Currently there's a LR V8 jobbie with oil cooler for £15 & £10 p&P. Cheap enough?

Look up your normal filter dimensions here:

Then search for similar simensions (just shorter) here:

If that finds you a suitable filter, then try and find out what vehicle it is for and you can order any filter of that car, or order M&H filters from the suppliers listed (they are fantastic filters)

P6 Rover 3500 had a filter about 2" shorter than a range rover filter.

Thanks for replies.

I managed to get a nice stumpy oil filter (Opel Monza I think),

But still too big.

I have purchased new remote oil filter kit via ebay.

Perfect.......... or so I thought, one hose collides with P/S pipe

Elbows needed......... visit to Pirtek required!

Just my luck!
