That's deffo a K+N filter.
You are in luck, Mr Adamski, because those filters are designed to be washed and re-used.
To wash them out, what I do is to put some neat petrol on it and rinse off most of the crud, then stick some neat washing-up liquid on, and bung it in a bucket of water and rinse it around. (Actually I use the washing machine but only when the other half isn't looking ;^)
Finally you're supposed to put some expensive K+N oil on it to trap the next batch of dust, but I find that a good spraying with WD40 does the trick.

cheers al give this a try, the 1 thats on it looks like a home made filter its that old. no k&n stamp?
No, deffo factory fit. The bonnet crushes it out of shape but as AQ says you can reuse it if you can get it to sit properly in the holder - no point otherwise as it'll be letting air past without filtering it.Forums | Wedges | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
