    Smile K & N air filter

    just wondering if a K & N air filter is a good option on a disco V8 have used before on road cars and happy with quality, performance etc. Any feedback welcome. By the way local price was over $140, US landed was over $75, UK landed was $62 so the poms get my dollars

    Popcorn anyone?

    "good option on a disco V8?"
    not if you like your engine...particularly if you take it off bitumen.

    K&N filters are more bird catcher than filters.

    they let more dust through than fozzy leaks oil to the ground.

    thanks for the link, saved me buying one of those K&N filters in the future.
    So I guess the standard filter on my RRC 93 is still a good option

    Unifilter sell 2 types of prefilter.
    The first just covers the opening and I think would be quite restrictive.

    The second and the one I have is a 'sock' that fits inside the top of the neck. They come in packs of 4, and I used them on a trip to GRR via plenty and Tanami. Following a road train along dirt they must be cleaned /swapped every couple of days. At the end of 18kk with about 8KK dirt, my main OE filter was still clean.

    Regard sPhilip A

    Unless donaldson make one that is better than OEM.


    Don't forget the good old cyclonic pre cleaner for a snorkel.
