Just a Quick question, Ive fitted the Disco 300tdi filter housing to suit the space in engine bay, BUT wasn't sure if it matters which way the air goes in and out.
As in pic it is the other way round to what they usually are , the air is going through the opposite way.
Does this Matter ? Thanks

Hmm... I'm not familiar with that cleaner but my spidey senses are tingling (a bit).

From memory, the top larger pipe is the one that goes to the engine, google images will show you for sure?
I think the smaller pipe was routed into the inner wing on the passenger side of the car.
Been a decade plus since I have owned a 300.

Yes I have it the wrong way round, jus wondering what effect it will have with air going through.

I have no idea, not something I have tried, but that does not mean it wont work, certainly cannot hurt to try it, jury rig it and run it for a while and check it for dirt etc.
