Bought a Bighorn 1994 3.1 turbo intercooler irmscher LWB last summer from dealer - was supposed to have handbook etc - still waiting, did oil change today - but feel like a dummy - cant find the oil filter!..... have serviced my old volvo for years so would have thought I should be able to find it.

Lovely tow vehicle - the partner loves it - total convert from the volvo ... but help for a 4X4 newbie required.

Thanks in advance - PS have ordered a manual from the club shop but really need to change the filter.

Oil filter is accessable from underneath the vehicle, on the driver's side.

Look up towards the back of the engine between the torsion bar, front propshaft and exhaust.

If it's a fram filter fitted, you will really have to yank it to get it between the propshaft and torsion bar, as thesy are a couple of mm wider than other makes.

Thanks - Just had a look - not quite sure how I could have missed that big thing tucked away in that area - will try some new glasses I think!

Got to it this morning - not a nice place for a filter, fortunately not a Fram filter, once I got the thing turning was fine - All I can say is the dealer was supposed to have changed this on the pre delivery service - I think not by the amount of oil, dirt etc on it!

Anyway thanks again to both Steam Hound and MartQ - Next thing I got to find out is where I can get a rear wiper motor and rough price - Next weekends project - some more grazed knuckles!
