I rebuilt my engine and put on a new Bearmach filter. I was gutted to find I had an oil leak which made a mess of my nice, new engine, although I couldn't see where it was coming from.
Months later I tackled the problem and found that the Bearmach had leaked from the crimp at the top, from new. I put on a Britpart, the only spare I had and no more problems! Hurrah for Britpart! But I'll go OEM next time.

It's a sad indictment of my life that I watched all of this vid and found it interesting.
 
Bearmach Filters don't even fit on my TD5, the Mann filter was a good inch shorter!!

Mann filter out of my TD5 ;)

I cut open a britpart oil filter yesterday. It had done nearly 4,000 miles. I usually change the oil at 3,000 miles on my 200tdi defender
