As someone who wrecked a Kawasaki bike engine in the 1980's as the result of a failed cheap oil filter, I struggle to see why anyone would contemplate fitting anything other than a Land Rover oil filter?
My experience may have made me paranoid but it also taught me the importance of the lubrication system, the cost of the "proper" oils and filters is a drop in the ocean of total ownership costs.

Weird that, just ordered a gen filter from Dan. Was a fomoco filter made by Mann. So it looks like Mann do 2 different filters for the car!! As it doesn’t look like the Mann Nino_nino has, Wells amen save for the cord round the outside. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

What I don't understand is this: -

Why, if these fit, would MANN not claim that on their own website? surely they're missing a trick? Current: 2011 FFRR Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I got the MANN filter yesterday came with a bag of 'O' rings but can't see where they all go, on the old filter which is same as new one even the filter casing hasen't got one on, are they not used ?

You. need to fit the sealing ring as shown in green on the following...

Mike.

Rob,
The inside of the filter housing has a spring tensioner that pushes against the filter, and the Mahle fits perfectly .

That would assist in either of them fitting perfectly then  Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
