Hi Guys

Are they any good and worth the £40 on ebay?

Or any other suggestions?

Thanks,

I've got the K&N filter
Better IMO
Does make a slight difference and you can really hear the air being drawn in
I think there the same price

I got mine on fleabay as well

Nothing from Britpart is any good, they are a crap company. A proper K&N is around the same price on ebay.

Thanks guys. I've heard bad things about K&N being oil drawn into the airflow meter???

2.0_hippo · May 12, 2011

Yes heard something about that too
There's not that much oil in the filter lol
A very small amount
I have always used K&N filters on all
My cars and bikes and there's not been any problems with them

Thanks Mr H, I've always used K&N too.

One on its way now

I have a K&N on my focus, and it's done 40000 miles on it, no issues with MAF failure yet! As long as when you reoil it after cleaning you don't go silly it's all ok!

A well reasoned argument beautifully put.......all apart from the fact it is wrong.

Personally I have been using Britpart products on & off for many years (I won't say for as long as I have owned LR's as they haven't been going that long) and I can honestly say not one has let me down. Some have expired in about the same time/mileage that I would have expected a genuine item to last but none have been faulty out of the box, failed to fit or broken soon after fitting.

Let them roll............

hi,

yes, well I have never really worked out my MPG so a bit unsure.

but im getting roughly 200 miles on £30 - I dont think thats that bad really considering i have all these mods and the synergy on high setting 9 and also having a rather heavy right foot

The extra fun you get from all these mods is worth compromising the MPG a bit

Litch · May 13, 2011

There are also ITG filters to consider, I have had one in the 90 for some time now and it does the job nicely. The only problem is that they are a bit pricey, for the TD4 it is around £90 but as I say, a very decent filter.

Wait till you have a complaint though & have to deal with the condescending prats, then tell me how good they are.

K&N filters are over rated, over priced boy racer crap, a standard filter will do the job nicely at a fraction of the cost.
