Help please, I am doing oil & filter change but cannot remove the cartridge from the removed housing. I t wiggles about but I cannot pull it out. Tried aligning small internal spigots but still no good. May have to purchase new housing perhaps?
Cheers

Far as I'm aware it's the same housing as an FL1, so just pull.

The filter is smaller than the FL1 filter, you also need a 27mm pivot socket, landrover have succeeded once again to put a service item in an ideal place (NOT)

To be fair, it's a Ford/PSA engine. So LR wouldn't have had a say in oil filter placing.
