It seems to the air filter is put in the worst possible place. just behind the drivers side front wheel and sucking air form a gap between the housing & wing.






In Dec 24 I replaced the orignal filter with a K&N. The paper element had covered 6500 miles.
You access it via the plate under the wing & as I live in rural Suffolk I had thatched cottage come out as well.





After 18 months & 9000 miles I thought I should look at the K&N. RichardV6 also pointed they should be checked annually.
I would say the field behind us is now a building site so dust is an issue, but as you can see the filter has trapped half a field.

I then cleaned it up and put it back using loctite on the bolts. What engineer uses bolts screwing up into something? I thought that was a no no. The photo is it cleaned but not oiled.


But I still wonder if a better inlet tract is possible as the plastic pipe is constricted across tthe top of the wheel arch. Has anyone got a good solution out there?
