    Hi Trout,

    'Old Mate' here. Thanks for your epistle. However, if you'd bothered to read my posts you would have seen, "The filter came in a green box, less than 15K km ago. Recommendations??" When I fitted it ("correctly"), I was not aware that Bearmach filters were considered inferior by some. But I do acknowledge that the new Mahle filter is a more 'snug' fit in the airbox and appears to be of better quality construction. Frankly, I resent the implication that I 'dropped the ball'.

    Oh, and Tombie - No. I didn't direct a hose into my air inlet for several minutes either...

    Never said you did, but it’s one of the only ways to get a significant amount of water into the filter element.

    And it could, repeat could, be done by a malicious neighbour or kid.


    Turn down the sensitivity meter a notch This is getting bloody annoying...

    Maybe you didn't "drop the ball" But by fitting the cheaper/inferior air filter Maybe you were playing with the wrong ball

    I have driven my D2a for over 150,000K's through all sorts of terrain and conditions (including deep water crossings) and I have NEVER had a catastrophic fail with the air filter like you did because I change them regularly AND I always use "Quality" filters

    I dunno Mike, I had a bloody wet element and I'd only done river crossings, no hose has been near the car for a while!
    And the water was only up to about the bottom sill, albeit there were 14 of those crossings....

    Some of us did them twice, sans wet filters. The transmission temp light shall remain unmentioned.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Common issue,after wading, with a D2,but it usually disappears pretty quickly.

    I will have to dig out the pic of mine crossing Palm Ck,on our first Cape trip,water was close to bonnet level, with no snorkel.

    The OEM air filter was a bit damp but that was it.
