Freelander type (rear) is same overall length but 'all filter' - it drops into the housing & just gets held in place by the cap instead. Here is a comparison pic:
I must admit the 'original' type seems better engineered to me - are any still like this or has all production switched over to the (presumably cheaper) 'all filter' style?
