Your video has annoyed me and at the same time made me really happy! I recently bought a 1977 Land Rover 101 which still has it's original V8 engine. I wanted to see how someone changes the oil and filter because i read online it's a right pain to do as the filter screws down onto the block. This means you can't pre-fill the filter with oil and the pump isn't self priming so if the pump drains you have to refill the sump and then prime the pump by removing the dizzy and spinning the shaft at the bottom, and then i see your filter screws upwards. So now i'm wondering why i can't fit your filter housing onto my engine? Is it a remote housing? Does your Range Rover have the LT95 gearbox with vacuum powered diff lock? Get yourself a set of spanners and sockets that work on the flats and not the corners. A rounded nut/bolt or plug isn't a problem then. They're great!
Hi @koitorob. The 101 V8 engine does have a difference oil pump base that then Range Rover classic which means that the oil filter is mounted on its side. It also have an earlier smaller oil pump. The main thing with oil changing these V8's with the distributor driven oil pump is to not leave the sump empty of oil for too long. i.e don't go off for a cup of tea half way through the oil change lol. If you do this increases the chances of the oil draining back out of the pump itself and then requiring you to re prime the oil pump. If you simply drain the sump, refill the engine with fresh oil. Remove the filter, fit the new filter, then start the engine you will be fine assuming of course that we are talking about a running engine in the first place which has oil pressure :-)
Hey mate I changed the oil in my '93 RRC today thanks to this video, much appreciated. From Sydney, Australia :)

29mm is a PITA, but it's a lovely old Rover. Is it a 3.5 or a 3.9?

Thank you so much Ian now those and things I wouldn’t know 👏❤️🙌
How do you check the oil level? Is there a dipstick?
Yes there is a dipstick.
