2004 Land Rover Discovery II, what size TORX is it that fits the fasteners on filter? I know it is a TORX, because I had pan off once. The all electronic controlled zf xmission may be different from earlier non electronic ones, I don't know.

 

What's an xmission?

 

Haha transmission...

 

T-27, but like a lot of tools, cheaper to buy a set rather than make multiple trips to the store.

 

It's less than 5 dollars for a set of 12 torx wrenches at Lowes.


When I changed my filter the previous owner had torqued it on so tight that I had to dremel off some plastic and use vice grips to remove one of the bolts. They're only supposed to be in there at around 15lb ft or so...

 

I have a fairly good set of tools, BUT have only a couple of Torx floating around, so I knew I needed to buy some, Since I have this Discovery II xmission filter waiting to be put in, I wanted to know for sure what size Torx it used before I bought set of them. Thanks for all the generous help; it is appreciated.

 

There are only a handful of even useful torx bits. Buy a set (like 5 pieces) and you'll have 99% of what you'll ever need for any vehicle.

 

Except those stupid security ones like on the MAF. As soon as I find someone with that wrench I'm taking mine off and replacing with normal people torx bolts.

 

Vicegrips. That's how I get em out.
