With the rover V8's you had to fill the oil filter otherwise you would have problems getting oil-pressure. A short blast off air in the dipstick tube would help too. That's quicker then filling the oilpump with vaseline. Mr. Green Roel

done a few miles today in the car and I had to do a sanity check........

I was careful how I worded this.....I asked my 10 year old daughter if she thought the car was any different after doing the 'service'.....her response - 'its louder'

I can't get my head round the car, having done a 'service' its now louder.....nothing that sounds wrong - it just sounds like someone has fitted a big bore exhaust to it Confused

its running really well but its just bl**dy strange?

Embarassed

found what was making the extra noise......contrary to me thinking someone had fitted a through pipe while I was asleep turns out some muppet didn't refit the airfilter box lid properly..... Whistle

Just a note for the guys filling the fuel filter up before fitting- if you get grit into it whether from the fuel/container or whilst re fitting throw it away- it will go straight down the line to the pump. I have changed my filter 3 times now and never filled it (touch wood I haven't ever had a air pocket in it) just start up and leave to idle for a minute.

Don't forget to fill the air filter with air when you fit it too!.

just a thought Glyn,

where you fill the filter I think that might be on the 'entry' side ie prier to filtering?

the other thing is on the replacement filter heads there appears to be two little symbols - open and closed padlock. are these by any at the back where you can't see them...if so who decided to fit the filter housing the wrong way round Mr. Green

If it sounds louder check your airfilter. If you have not fitted this correctly the airfilter lid will not be 100% closed. You will see some of the filter. It can be a bit awkward to get it (the top of the airfilter box) fitted correctly. It will sound very loud. Also a danger of water getting sucked in. Run your fingers around the join where the top meets the bottom of the filter box. If it is not closed correctly you get a very loud sound as you have described. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
