One minor issue, although not obvious in the photo, is that the tray is quite a bit higher than standard and every year, it seems to get higher. Very noticeable when loading the Engel and eskies.[biggrin]Quote:

I doubt that crossing gets any deeper nowadays.

Slightly related. When I bought our first Land Rover in 1990, a 90 turbo diesel. The handbook stated that if you needed a new air filter (it was similar to the tdi type) and none was available you could clean the old one by standing it in a bucket of soapy water. I cannot remember if the water needed to be warm but I think it did. To dry you let it dry naturally or you could help it by placing it in an airing cupboard.
Anyway I tried it and it worked. When washed it was spotless and it dried out fine.
I mention this incase some one gets a similar turbo/tdi filter damp when crossing a river that it is possible to let it dry then carry as a spare if you changed it.
I do not know how long a self cleaned air filter would last but the integrity of the element looked fine through the holes in the cannister. I have not seen the above in any handbook since that 1990 one I had.
