Quite honestly Don’t bother.

These need to be removed regularly and re-oiled.

When I did think of doing it, I had 2 supplied that did not fit correctly.

The filter is at least an inch too short.

They say, not to worry. Rubbish.

Clean your Original one out by knocking against the wall and Hoover it, get all the little bits out.

Unless someone comes along and tells you that you will get 10 more bhp, and 20 more mpg. Yea right

Every 10k's not that regularly - not even for me - and mine fits perfectly. I disagree with them saying "not to worry" though - you want the whole filter area covered with no holes for large bits of crud to go through.

I'd not say it gives huge power gains, but I've found it lessens the characteristing diesel "inertia" in revving and makes the power band that little bit wider. I'm pretty sure it wasn't just "placebo effect" either.
