Here are the innards of a "Fleetmaster" diesel filter from a 2.4 Puma after being removed after one year. It is made by "Stanadyne" in the US of A. The inner core filter is well constructed and the cleats are evenly spaced and securely fixed by a metal strip down one side to hold the inner element in shape. I wanted to show the construction of the inner filter but the cut made by my hacksaw made a mess of the cleats.
 Click image to enlarge Here is a new replacement filter branded "Mahle" also made by "Stanadyne" in the US of A. Click image to enlarge It carries the same "Stanadyne" markings on the bottom as the "Fleetmaster" so they are identical. Click image to enlarge All of these brands i.e. "Mahle", "Fleetmaster" and "Stanadyne" can be bought for a very competive price compared to the "Land Rover" fuel filter which has in the past been made for them by "Stanadyne". I do not know who the current "Land Rover" supplier is as I have not examined a "Land Rover" filter recently. You pays your money and makes your own decisions but I have no bother using a non "Land Rover" branded filter that carries the "Mahle," "Fleetmaster" or "Stanadyne" branding. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

Yep, Stanadyne is as OEM. I just have to wear the vetinary elbow length latex gloves ( as used for cows' backsides ) when changing it as I've already binned one good jumper. A messy yucky job but satisfying when its done

Unbranded filters
When you compare the prices of those unbranded, to that of OEM and reputable manufacturers, there is very rarely much of a difference |

That would have been made by Stanadyne. There will be a "S" type symbol on the bottom, same as the Mahle etc. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

That's what wives are for, so it's states in the marriage vows. To quote the relevant section of the marriage contract... "For better or for worse...and to change diesel filters on Defender Pumas. With this strap wrench I thee endow etc. etc." 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |
