Info for TD5 owners and landy nuts in general

[tombraider]

Have found another source for the centrifugal filter on the TD5.

These ones fit and work.

Also have a range of Landrover spares, accessories etc coming available soon... More info to follow.

I'll be offering a 'list discount' to AULRO members once established which should save you all a decent amount of money. 8)

Who on this list had an aftermarket centrifugal filter fitted and had issues? Please post here, and what brand you remember it being.

I put my money where my mouth is so I have fitted one to mine. Its working (whirring) fine and I want to prove the products I'm offering.

So for the first 2 members interested I'll send you one free to prove it to you.



Moderators/Site owner please PM me, I'd like to offer sponsorship to the AULRO site in exchange for advertising.

Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike.
I've just changed my centrifrugal and the Mann item I was sold was the same as already installed.
But mine "don't do no whirring noises" so how do I know it's working?

What I really want is an oil filter remover that gets in the confined space available and actually works.

Aaln if it ain't whiring, thers a fair chance it ain't working. I had some replacement brand fitted only to find they didn'st work. Lucky I noticed straight away. Went back to original.

Mike I find out what brand it was and get back to you.

I had a non-genuine one fitted (didn't realise they were going to use aftermarket item). I told them I wanted a genuine one because I had read about the problems in the UK with aftermarket brands, but they assured me it would be fine.

I can't hear any "Spin-down" when I shut off the engine when I'm in the drivers seat. Do I need to open the bonnet to hear this noise?

It went straight into the workshop when I bought it so I don't know what it sounded like before that.

My OEM one didnt always whir either. It took a little run at decent engine revs to get the whir to ocur!

Cold oil slows it down faster, by the time I turn off its stopped.
Warmer engine temps gives me a definate whir on wind down... Only lasts about 4 seconds after shutdown though.

Take the vehicle for a drive, rev the engine moderately and let it warm right up. then shut down and listen on P/S of vehicle... You should hear a whir.

The only time I have heard this is when it was switched off in the garage after picking it up from the dealer!!!
To be sure of the good oil I dumped the oil and all filters as soon as I got the car and have not heard it since. I discovered my dodgy filter after 8,000 k's and even after putting in an original filter it still doesn't make a noise. Two centrifuge filters were sent back because they were hitting the housing....but I do not recall who the manufacturer is.

Is it a possible that because we change oil & filters at 10,000 k's that everything is still fresh and tight so we do not hear it :?:

Also depends,

are you a good diesel turbo owner and let it idle a few seconds before shut off?

If so the filters already slowed a significant amount prior to turning it off.

Hi Alan
New oil is probably the reason,I couldnt hear mine but with 2500ks under her belt I can now hear the normal wind down noise.
Mike
Great to hear of any new parts suplier,keep us informed.

Hi Andy. Yes that may be the reason although I remember it whirring on shut down when it was a new vehicle. I'll have to get out before shutting down and with the bonnet open try and hear it over the normal clatter, then shut down and see what happens.

The people that sold me the bits (Discovery in Wangara) assured me they were not the type that had caused probs. in the past and in fact they reckon I didn't need to change it or the oil filter.
But as I told them if new oil goes in so does a new oil filter despite LR saying otherwise.
I don't like the thought of my nice clean oil being contaminated with filth straight away.
Happy motoring.
Alan.

<span style="color:blue">hey mike.....what brand have you found.....is it mann & hummel or something else.....

there was a guy selling them at the penrith show last year for $11.....
i bought a couple at that price and they kept me out of trouble......
dunno where he got them from.....but they must have been cheap......</span>

[tombraider]

Will be flying over to see the supplier next week.

I'll have lots of details then and hopefully some full price lists so I can start pricing this stuff properly.

Will be in touch!

Cheers

Mike, if it is a Mann, perhaps your supplier can also supply a Mann W930/20. This replaces the ERR3340 filter used in virtually everything else, (V8's and diesels) and is a much better filter than the OE one (made by Delphi) and any other aftermarket one. I'm currently using a Donaldson Synteq (synthetic media, very high flow and filtration) but it's a touch too long, and in extreme situations the diff juuust touches.... :roll:
I tried for several months to get Mann Oz to import the Tdi/V8 filter, but they just weren't interested.......

I tried the Cooper brand, no wind down whir or noise, swapped with genuine LR and could hear wind down. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
