Oil filter FAIL (Halfords filter on a Citroen Berlingo 2.0 HDi)

I got a rather panicked request from my folks today - their car was spewing oil all over the driveway.

With it being a Citroen HDi I immediately thought the worst, however it was a really easy fix. Never seen a failure like that before, though.

This is exactly why you shouldn't be using crappy after-market filters. Full rant here: http://www.cantanko.com/landcruiser-80/maintenance/proper-filters-and-why-you...

@KLONIME1001 Not so much - this was 10,000 miles ago and it's still going strong. It never ran dry - just enough to make a mess on the drive...

@wheely132 It's a Halfords own-brand filter as in the title of the video. Halfords are a popular motor-parts store over here in the UK :-)

What brand was the oil filter? It looks like a motorcraft to me..
