Fuel filter.

Apologies for a very basic question.

I had a service last year in which the fuel filter was changed, I’ve only done about 3/4 thousand miles in it since. Is this a yearly service item on these cars or is it a once every 2 year thing at my sort of mileage as per the general info about fuel filters online?

Used a bit of additive etc over the year so maybe full of crap now if it worked!

Lastly I am guessing a Febi / Britpart filter has no real difference to the oem one?

Also I remember someone saying they are the same filters used on transit vans… 2009 pre-facelift 3.6 TDV8.

Hi, doing that mileage I'd change every couple of years. I'm a low mileage user but do mine every two years to be safe. I use genuine and or OE spec only. I've had some bad experience with some but not all Britpart parts so choose more carefully now.

Thanks, guessed that was the case but wanted to check.

Last time I went with a Febi branded one which is a brand I trust and use across my cars for when I feel the oem prices are just too high.

Oil wise I’m sticking to the correct Shell Helix and a Mahle filter. 2009 pre-facelift 3.6 TDV8.

I personally consider Febi far superior to Britpart. Most car parts may be similar in quality of design and materials used (even including genuine), but the quality control I would say differs vastly.

And for your mileage, I'd probably change the filter every 3 years (I believe the service book says 2) and save a bit of cash. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

Good to know.

I can’t say I have ever bought Britpart but noticed many places stock their L322 fuel filter so thought I’d mention it. Febi always seems to fit exactly like an oem part I find, especially on my bmw e34 touring.

While on the subject of service items, this car is my first Diesel, what are the general thoughts on glow plug changes? I have a full main dealer history file so could go looking for when they were last changed.

Guessing it’s not a job that has to be done too often? 2009 pre-facelift 3.6 TDV8.

I doubt you'll ever need to change the glow plugs - theyll most likely exceed the life of the car, so only change if there's a fault. Key things with the L322 diesels are keeping on top of oil changed. A strict 5,000-7,500 mile interval. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

I change all filters annually. Generally use Mahle ones from Advanced Factors.
