Oil bath air filter

[lro11]

Can anyone tell me why this filter is painted grey all the ones that I have seen are black could it be for a series 2? should I repaint it?
It is brand new never used not been repainted

[Blknight.aus]

that was the colour the previous owner wanted it?

IVe seen

Galved, black, white, grey, red, green and blue with white vertical pinstripes.

yes it was on one of my rovers, no i didnt paint it that colour I think someone was having a jybe at some of my ummm lets just say "not of the book" repair techniques.

I've seen them that colour, but I can't remember where. All the Series Landrovers I have ever owned (1,2,2a,3) .have been black though. Possibly something like very late S3 or even just a particular batch of filters from a different supplier.

Have to agree with John on this one, have seen them that colour but not on any that I have owned, so most likely late Series III (which I have never owned).

However that said - the ones I have seen were more like the wheel silver colour of the SIII rather than the hammered metal of the one in the picture.

The one(s) I have seen were the hammered metal finish - I think!

Both my 2A's (1970) were that finish, but my S111 (1979) was black:o

I have a bog standard holden filter atop the BXOV1 Strommy. I think the filter housing is for the larger BXU2 (??) carb because it barely stays on with the clamp squeezed to the limit. Probly sucks in shytie air as a result. Difficult to say really. In a nut shell, I want an oil bath W/- KN element. Where do I get one of these from in Brisbane?

[Ruski73]

*edit* that should read ...

I want an oil bath or KN element.

I was told by a fellow LR owner the other day that an Oil Bath Filter is just as good as a snorkel when doing deep river crossings, I can't see how it's possible? Any truth to that theory? I must admit I have never seen an ex military LR with a snorkel and I'm guessing if they needed one they would install one.

Could one fit this type of filter to a 200 / 300 tdi. Taking into account space. I recon if it was fitted correctly the likleyhood of causing problems would be minimal. One would have to look at flow rates ect i supposes. Only speculating I'm always happy to be proven wrong.

You would have to look at the maximum recommended flow rate for them (I don't know where you would get this!) - the 200/300 Tdi process a lot more air than the Series engines thanks to the turbo. Since the original aircleaner was fitted to a 1.6 litre engine and was unchanged for the 2, 2.25 and 2.6l petrol engines and the 2.25 diesel, I would wonder how much spare leeway there was for increased flow.
