I'll get a quote to get a few things and get multiples to try to make the freight worthwhile.
    The paddocks item lists no brand and so is of unknown quality - I would not use it. That is what I meant by skimping on the air filter.

    If you want your engine to last, it is best only to use:
    Donaldson (should be P777179)
    Fleetgard (available from truckline etc, often the cheapest - should be AF1945)
    MANN FILTER (seems they don't make an equivalent)

    Have you been able to buy the Donaldson ? Auto pro said they had called their supplier and it wasn't available. I don't know whether their supplier was Donaldson or not.

    Did you contact your local truckline about the fleetgard filter?

    Yes it looks like Botany/Sydney and Wagga are the 2 closest... Unless you have a local dealer.

    Most of the truckies (especially those who use Cummins engines) use Fleetgard/Cummins filters so will know where to buy them closer to home.

    I ordered 2 filters today from Industrial replacements in Batemans Bay. I had never thought of asking them as they generally only deal in truck and trailer spares but I told Big John the part number and he new exactly what I was talking about.
    I ordered one to go straight in and one to carry as a spare.
    They had fleet Guard at about $63 each delivered, they seem to be in the ball park price wise.
    Still seems to expensive for an Air filter...
    But still cheaper then an engine rebuild and as a weekend rig they should last a long time.

    Thanks for the input

    It you fit a restriction gauge you might find you only need to change it a 30-40000km or so. Changing air filters too frequently is bad for your engine.
