Cheap K&N filters

Post by Simon82 » Sun Jul 13, 2014 11:30 pm

Came across this page tonight and thought the prices were pretty reasonable and worth sharing for those that might be interested :)

They are a big eBay seller, but their eBay prices are near double the prices on the website which seems a bit strange, but looks legit. Free shipping too.

Tempted to buy an element for the Panda since it's not far off the price of a couple of regular disposable filters!

The website is virtually impossible to use though!!

Think that's one of Mark Yates' companies; he set up 106rallye.co.uk way back when I had my 106 Rallye. Always seemed a decent fellow.

Some serious savings over other suppliers but without part numbers it would be a long night trying to track down what you want to order. :roll:

For some older ones it could be. I checked with Murray's and apparently Exige s, evora and evora s all the same filter and all Toyota engined Elise's use the same filter element. Ordered one up so will see when it arrives if it's right or not!

I already have a K&N on the Evora & was trying to get ones for the other wheels but with a choice of over 50 pages I gave up. :?

That's what I felt too, though I eventually managed to find the filter I was looking for as the page didn't load properly, so I ended up with a grid view, no images, but full titles - if only you could force that ;)

Stupidly, I didn't order, then went off to a meeting and my basket timed out though, so will have to find it again if I can be bothered!

Dumb question, as I've not looked at the site, but there's no contact info just to email the guy your requirements?

I figured it out.

First use the filter list to select the manufacturer (ie, Vauxhall)
Then the sdearch box allows you to further restrict the list by adding:
Astra
or
Astra mk6 (it seems you need to use the same format as the listing on the website, so for my 100hp panda, I go to Fiat, then search "panda ii 1.4")
or even the K&N number.

If you are in the Lotus section (as the original link points) the search returns nothing.

Shug's probably right though, we could email the company! ;)

Mine arrived today also, just about to fit it. Got one through for a friends Elise as well.

I agree website could be more user friendly but a wee bit of extra time to find the right one is worth it for the price I'd say
