Wow not sure how long since you changed you pollen filter but might be worth checking them. Changed these on a mates p38a tonight.

Cheers Matt

Wow, they must have been in there a long time, they are black!
I usually do mine about every 12 months, it's amazing how much dust they pick up in that time. Better in the filters than in your lungs. A lot of non LR mechanics don't even know they exist, so there would be some around that have never been changed.

That is bad! I change mine annually on the anniversary of my Rangie's purchase! At the same time I grease her nipples, rotate her tyres, bleed the brakes and give the diffs and tranny some new fluids!

It's her birthday after all!

Cheers

I give mine a bit of a touchup with a low powered vacuum cleaner then soak them overnight (filter- side down) in a small square plastic washing tub using about a tablespoon of wool detergent and 4L of water. Give them a bit of a shake occasionally..a lot of the dirt drops out.

Then press them dry in a piece of old towling and let them air dry. They get a bit fragile when wet so handle carefully. Once they're dry -no worries... The trick is not to let them get too dirty...

I have a set of 'new' replacements for 'just in case' ...have been recycling the current ones however for three years

Island-4x4.co.uk is where I get mine!

[Marshall]

Yep, normally use ebay.co.uk I thought I would just check. But for 15pounds delivered I am not going to complain.

They are pretty easily washed out laundry detergent and a quick hit with a hose does the trick
Replace your Plenum filter at the same time.
I always look at P38s and consider the vehicle to be well maintained if the Plenum filter is present and in good order, 90% are not that i see about the place.

Where is the plenum filter? Photo would be handy.
I got mine from karcraft in silver water Sydney. I would always call these guys before offering os. Always get a good price. Cheers Matt
