The actual bit where the airfilter sits looked pretty clean actually, so I guess the filters doing its job. Is the one in the glovebox the pollen filter? That's actually been replaced quite a few times according to my receipts.........

Will do, does the K&N filter make any difference? Seems to cost a fair bit more than the standard one?

It is also more free-flowing so I think helps fuel consumption slightly. Makes the engine note very slightly more "growly" at low revs (not louder though).
I think it's well worthwhile.

The K & N filter is more expensive than a standard filter, but you should not have to replace as they can be cleaned, unlikey standard filters, so in the long term you will save money.

15-05-2016, 02:11 AM #15There are claims a air filters will add x amount of horse power, in reality you will not notice much difference. You will probably just notuice a slightly different engine note.

steviewevie K&N filter lasts forever though, you never need to replace it, just clean it and re-oil it every now and again (make sure your garage doesn't throw it away by mistake !).May get one and give it a go then, saves me having to clean my existing one too :p
How often would I need to clean it? If I cleaned just before each annual service would that do? That would prob prevent them throwing it away too if it looked clean

I think the filter comes with stickers \ decals for the air box to state you have a performance filter and not to throw it away.

The link i gave you was the chepest on the net at time i bought one 3 yr ago - think is still the cheapest.
i clean mine by banging it agaist the wall then hovering it (the air filter that is), and it's still better than the OM one
i clean it out when i wash the car....which is not often

DJ Wozza the question is:- OE for postage or K&N for retail or E-Bay........Think I might still go for the K&N if it lets the engine breathe a little better........thanks for the offer though, was tempting
