Wow! Indeed!
I didn't thought about it....
Thank you for the tip!

But one should be careful if is using it...
Because of the spanner size/length you can easily "shave" the bolt thread if you put too much force in it...

No, really... I was genuinely surprised by the idea.
Indeed, you have the spanner there at your disposal for using even on the wilderness and I didn't thought about it and their sizes... Thumbs Up

Amazing! They suggest it is Castrol oils. Must be a pattern filter. Just priced it at £43.61. Half price MOTs too! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Suppose when you are ordering in bulk for oil and filters you can get massive discounts. I have used this service for a good few years now and am more than happy. Ooops forgot to mention if your Landy has a sump guard there is a small surcharge.

The national Tyre price is £56 for a diesel 2.2 inclusive of oil and filter. They also have a 10% offer on at the moment.

Excellent thread. Just changed the oil and filter this week-end. Couldn't have done it without the 27mm ratchet hinged spanner. So thanks to all.

Just changed the oil and filter on my 2.2 diesel Freelander 2. As many have said the oil filter is awkward task, however if you remove the electric cooling fans you can replace the filter from above very easily using a 27mm socket and ratchet.
To remove the cooling fans you only need to unclip the fan wiring loom (3 clips) and one multiplug, the fan assembly is quite large and drops into two brackets at the bottom of the radiator and the two top clips need to be released, be careful not to damage the radiator when lifting the fan assembly out of the way.
