The Guttmann air filter from ECP that has gone in, is twice as deep as the Halfords filter that came out.  :-\ 

Although I guess it'll provide better filtration, will it restrict the airflow?  ??? :-\


I should have mentioned, as it has greater surface area than the one you replaced, it is likely to flow better. Although it's really unlikely you'd ever notice!

Got the black one a few jobs closer to an MoT... including refitting the exhaust in the right order. Centre pipes now run next to each other into the back box rather than crossing over, but fit is the noisy side of blowing so will need the cat joints resealing properly. Not today though ::)

Also made brackets to support the brake pipes...

Broke it!  Well part of it anyway, the LPG system is kaput!  :'(  I had to drive 125 miles home on petrol!!  :o  >:(

I drove through some very Welsh weather today and I suspect some of the electrics got a good soaking.  :-\
