Hi all, I picked up a couple of what I hope are filter(s) for the ACE valve block at Billing the other week as I haven't checked/cleaned it since I've owned it even though I've changed the rear ACE pipes (I know it only takes one but at £2.00 each, instead of £134.29, it was worth a punt). As you can see from the pics you can't quite see/make out all the p/no. So from the pic with the vernier on the filter can anyone tell me if they look right ? The LR p/list gives p/no RVJ100010 & describes it as nut & filter assy. There's no nut(s) in the bag(s) just o-rings (the bags are sealed/unopened). I had a quick go at removing the filter but the 'nut'/ plug was bloody tight so before I go hammer & tong at it do the filter(s) look right? Many thanks in advance.

Defo an ace filter typical landrover same filter on my sport supercharged.
However getting the nut off is an issue as it usually welds its self in with corrosion.

Thanks for that, is there any chance of the nut/cap part breaking off leaving the thread part in the block ?

Hi, that's definitely ACE filter

IMO in this particular case there is some mistake in the jaguarlandroverclassic p/n list as the price they give(£134.29) is unreal as well, the plug is RYB500010 which doesnt appear in that list while it's listed for RRS 05-13 which has the same ACE block

I've heard cases when the hex side got rounded but never that it broke.... though depends on your dose of bad luck too... use a freeze and release spray before you attack it

Thanks, I'll get some of that spray. I've got snap on 6 sided flank drive sockets, which I use on fasteners that won't undo like they should or the hex is corroded.
Yeah the LR price for that filter is surely a mistake, or bonkers if it's correct.
I'll order a plug just in case before I try to remove the old one.
