Is the 4.0L (Disco 1) oil filter mount the same as a Ford FL1A? That's a really universal mount. My Toyota truck, JD lawn tractor, Jeep all use that mount. Other vehicles I've had in the past have used same mount/threads too - even Fords!I forgot to check until after I had the new filter on. If so, it opens up other possibilities. Thanks

yes

 

I would check that I know the Mobil One oil filter I use will fit
a Jeep/Dodge trucks but not Fords.

 

The filter mount is indeed identical to the FL-1A. The K&N 3001 is a direct replacement for the FL-1A and the 3001 is the one recommended by many Rover folks as a better filter than the original. It is larger in capacity than the one specified for the Rover, but the seal, threads and ports are the same.

heres a good article about oil filters. all the filters in the test work for the rover engine.

After you look around, still try and stay with either the Mobil 1 or the K&N 3001, between the filter media and the internal valves, these seem to be some of the best as far as the rovers go, mainly no dry starts after sitting awhile.
