Air suspension air filter

Thanks to Rich,all done.Still fiddly,but filter was pretty clean considering inside the panel was full of dirt and dust.

Rich (or anyone else who's done this),
I found the plastic vent to be jammed pretty tight and gave up for fear of breaking it.
Is there any trick to removal or preferred direction to pull it out?

Cheers,
Scott

I am doing this when the parts arrive - new filter housing with a replaceable paper filter element.

I will post photos etc when I get the parts

My new filter arrived today, so I have now installed it - there is no speed reduction to my suspension raising after depleting the resivoir.
I have not got a photo of it mounted, as I only have it cable tied to stop it moving until I fabricate a proper bracket.

Sorry for the post dig but this is the closest post I've managed to find.

I have new AMK desiccant and filters arriving shortly and want to clean this filter prior, I also have the rear aircon and am struggling to figure out how to release the intake filter from the side compartment. Like other posters I can just reach up and grab the filter but not dislodge from the body.

The pictures below are no longer visible, if I understand correctly I need to release the rear external light cluster, then prise out the plastic and rubber flap mechanism behind it which should allow me to see and release the clip holding the filter to the body?

Guess you can always tell a true land rover person by the scars on the back of their hands from trying to get to b1-$dy clips in awkward places...[biggrin]

thanks in advance.

In this photo I'm pointing at the prong you have to squeeze and push back through to enable sliding the vent / filter out through the side access in the rear of the car.

Good luck, it's not that hard once you know where to look.

Cheers Rich

I was unable to release the vent mechanism and gave up for fear of breaking it. Hope you get it and can explain how it's done.
