Is it a barrel type ?
What are the dimensions, ie. ID, OD, length ?

FWIW, any good aftermarket paper type will do, eg UK made Coopers.

if your interested i can send you my dirty ''in service'' filter and the new change over elements.
the uni has 2 different layers of foam, both have different coarseness levels.

Hi Phil,

Sorry - haven't seen this thread in a while. Would be happy to. I will let you know when I will be doing some more tests.

However - a german filtration engineer once said to me - they have a saying over there: Schaum ist Scheiss (schaum = foam)

and i thought you were being an ignorant by not replying to me

i now feel the love

i will also send your provent element back this week....sorry for being slack....

cheers phil

Hi Isuzurover, weren't you ahead with foam type test? haven't seen a TD5 filter test, maybe you know of one.....

Hi Carlos. I haven't had time to do any more tests - maybe if there was an extra 8 hrs in each day...

The TD5 filter seems quite similar to the Disco Tdi filter??? If so, the results/performance should be similar.
