Rover Sports Register Forum

In the club workshop manual there is reference to the occasional fitting of a remote external oil filter to supplement the gauze strainer.
Does anyone have information about this? For a 1948 12 tourer.
I have found pictures & discussion on this topic from 2010 & 2016....has anyone done this more recently??

David, as you may have seen, quite a complex subject.

AC ZS1 (Rover part no 216322) was fitted to 20hp saloons up to 1940 and was an option on other models. It was also fitted to Series 1 Land Rovers. Similar ones were fitted to MG TC/TD

Thanks I will check this out....meanwhile I have to find the existing mesh filter.....! The air filter was easy!

First, drain the oil. Look under the car at the offside of the sump. There is a large brass cover with a hexagon. Use the hexagon to unscrew the cover and withdraw it and the filter from the engine. You may be able to contrive a scraper to remove the crud from the sump. To clean the filter (really only a strainer) I used kerosene. A large container to hold the kero and filter helps with cleaning.

Hope this helps

Perfect...thanks!
Many questions to come as I get to know the car!
