nickm Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Would anyone have any pics of their airfilter setup on an auto conversion.? Trying to fit the normal cylinder style but hitting the dipstick tube Cheers Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 My auto conversion was with a Mazda 3.5 Tdi so can't help. Guess you'll have to have a look at the engine bay of a 50th anniversary ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianmayco68 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I’m doing this on my 90 project at the minute, I’m just about to the point of refitting the air filter. I was planning on bending the dipstick tube I’ve already done it a bit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Here's mine (discovery airbox) and also a shot into the open bonnet of Mr Bowyer's (Goodwinch) at a show. A ruck that I was very impressed with. ('course mine's a Discovery 300 so probably doesn't qualify! 😀 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Here you go, Defender 300TDi with Ashcroft auto conversion. As I recall I had to gently tweek the dipstick tube but it fits beside the standard airbox perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickm Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Cheers might have a go at bending the tube did you remove it to bend it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Yes, I just kept removing it to bend the tube gently (careful you don't flatten it) and when I was happy with the location, bolted it into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
