I was just watching a video on Youtube of a guy changing the oil and filter in his early 3.5 V8 Range Rover. The filter on his engine was lower down and screws upwards, you know, like on most normal well thought out engines...
Has anyone looked at fitting the Range Rover filter housing? I'm assuming it's a remote housing.
Had to laugh when he dumped a couple of litres of oil onto the drive as he hadn't allowed for how quickly the oil would pour out from the sump.

I've just found this 3.5 for sale on Ebay and it's clearly not a remote filter housing. The filter screws onto the casing at the bottom. As it's dark, raining and im sat in a warm house and can't be bothered to venture outside, i'll let you experts explain what's different between 'our' V8 and it seems, everybody else's...
Can we retro fit the other part?

I know that when converting a series to v8 a remote is necessary, as the filter goes the axle.

My 101 is currently a parts filling system, so I can't get to it.

The lower oil pump filter bases shared the same bolt holes so you can swap filter housings between Rover V8's.
The issue is that the filter will be mounted in different ways usually for clearance to front axle, chassis legs etc.
