Hi just a general query has anyone replaced the filter in the block I think it’s supposed to be changed at 75000.
My RRS is a 2013 63000 on the clock but I’ve heard that the plug that fits into the alloy Ace valve is a harder metal and you could end up with damaged threads leading to a leak !!!!.As ever any wise words appreciated.

That is true so don't over tighten the nut.

It's a simple job to replace the filter. Just drop the old one out and pop the new one in. Kev

Thanks Kev I’ve got the Torque settings for it so it should all be good lol i hope 🤞 lol

There is an O ring on the nut so make sure your new filter comes with that too.

Thanks Nilrem appreciate your reply i wire brushed around the housing today and sprayed some penetrating fluid onto it for good measure .

Rather than use screwdrivers to lever old filter out, there is actualy a thread in the base of the filter which you can screw a 6mm treaded bolt into to wriggle it out with if you wish. Little easier if you happen to be laid on the floor doing it.

I bet LR have a special tool for that. Probably available at the cut-price cost of just a single kidney.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I change my filter every year. It might be a bit of an overkill, but I have never had a problem with the system after 11 years. It is cheap insurance as they are cheap enough.

Hi thanks for your comments I take it you haven’t had any problems with the threads of the alloy housing when you put screw the cap back in ?

has anyone replaced the fluid in the ACE system?
is it worth doing?

Yes. The official procedure to drain the fluid is via the fitting on the ARB itself. Mine was rusty so I didn't want to touch it and risk rounding and/or leaks. It's much easier to do multiple drain and refills directly from the reservoir to switch out the black horrible fluid for nice clean stuff. Kev
