I can straighten this one easily enough, but it'll only get bent again

I hope it doesnt, you dont see too many bent steering links in a Disco2.

be funny if he didnt pass rego due to a bent tie rod..

It would!

And I'd politely point out to Lee his BIL did it!

Interesting.

They are definitely a larger OD than a 110/130 version by 3-4mm and I wonder if the better scrub radius helps here, reducing loads when jammed in a rut?

what is a centripetal filter?

I looked it up but got something strange about forces within acting in the centre?

AFAIK the oil filter cartridge spins and centrifically forces the oil through (itself) the media,, aparently you can here it spinning on shutdown..
its was a bloody good inhouse idea..

yeah ok, the CENTRIFUGAL filter is what he's talking about?

must have dextrous fingers to change the cartridge out that quickly.....

Some you can hear and some you cannot - in my experience the “genuine” or OEM filters are silent. I have noticed that non genuine filters are a looser fit on the spindle.
