Thread: TD5 air filters

I use Britpart. A very tight fit into the filter box.

It's very dusty here so have tended to change them very 3000k. Seem to do the job.

Cheers Jerry

I wouldn't touch anything coopers as the last oil filter disintegrated.....

Genuine only...tests have been done and posted on this site.

There's also Cooper and Coopers, two entirely different brands


Cooper are definitely bottom of the draw, lowest price/quality items, Coopers are an aftermarket brand of the Sofegi (sp?) group in Europe.


Generally paper out filters foam, but if fine dust is getting through the genuine, I'd be using whatever works or looking at making a better airbox to take a better filter, space permitting.

LR have switched to a new maker for the air filters. The last one I bought from the UK had the new part number and was far better made than the Mahle stamped LR part I bought locally to replace it.

Where this really shows is around the seal moulding. The Mahle seal has bumps and runs whereas the newer LR part was perfect in this regard.

I've replaced the air box lid since I started this thread. It could be circumstantial but I have seen very little indication of dust getting past the filter since the lid was replaced.
