Oil filter smashed off
Bit of bad luck. Whilst slow moving up a woodland track a log has flicked up under the defender and totally destroyed the oil filter assembly. Oil light came on and I switched the engine off straight away, so hopefully engine is ok. Had to get recoverd to the nearest road then recovery has taken it to the dealers for inspection.

not that uncommon on the late transits for filter damage , just replaced a transit engine for same thing driver touched a kerb and holed filter needed engine and turbo replaced ( courier driver just kept driving , still drove when it came in just knocking badly ) , engine was only 12 weeks old in it anyway fitted under warrentry because of the problems with the later oil pumps on the 2.2 tdci

don't think I would have wanted it taken to a dealers , they will charge for replacing filter housing and guess any warrentry will be gone now they seen that or will advise new engine

Three years ago after getting the stainless steel intercooler grilles made I proposed an oil filter protector.....

Apparently.......

The Entreq one looks nice and apart from the price looks good, however it looks like its retained by the anti roll bar bolts.... I'd hate to have to pull that off every time I change an oil filter.

All fixed and everything ok. No issues with warranty either. Now after a guard that covers the oil filter. Just guna look at the one above.
