no , its not cross threaded.
its a land rover part. no.ERR3340.
i changed it about 4mths ago,and put the same as above on,and it instantly started leaking.so i contacted the company and they sent out a replacement.
i tightened the one on there with grips (not overly tight) and it slowed it down.
now i've put the new one on its still coming out.
i haven't left the o ring on there either.
shall i tighten it up with grips again, or would going for an aftermarket oil filter help?

I have had original LR filters in the past ERR3340 which have sprung a leak around the rim at the top, so don't anyone give me the ****e about ALWAYS buy genuine parts. Obviously the filter didn't leak before the first replacement was fitted.
Double check the mating face on the housing, give the new filter a smear of oil on the threads and the sealing ring and then retighten.

I should have popped in for tea last week, then you could have REALLY taken the pee out of me and my lump :doh:
Think you will find the factories that make the Britpart stuff have always made parts for Land Rover. We have had this discussion before.
