sussex-landy Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Can anyone help with K&N filters that fit the rover 3.5 V8 fitted in a series. I have a set of the big cone type but found they wont go in on the side where the heater is due to size. I have seen some slim line oval ones online fitted to V8s but dont know the model and the K&N site is pretty useless. Anyone got any ideas on filter part numbers or are you running them, how do they fair. Do I just chop out the heater and be done with it, worse case option.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 If your even thinking of going off road - bin them. Actually, they are so poor bin them anyway Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagmire Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Is there not enough room to fit a standard Range rover oval type box, or a round P6 one like this? I imagine possibly not as if a filter hits the heater, then the elbow on that side probably would too... The filters are easy to get hold of though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussex-landy Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Space is limited in the series and the oval box can only go on the front side which looks really messy. I tend not to offroad these days due to time and kids so not fussed about that. Is the opinion the oval box setup the best option ?

FridgeFreezer Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I have a V8 in a Series and run a 200TDi Defender airbox & filter, it sits on the passenger footwell (admittedly some people have a heater in this place) but there's other spaces it could occupy. Failing that, wander round the scrappy and find a likely looking airbox, a panel filter one may be a better shape (Freelander one may be a good bet). Just remember to make a note of what it came from so you can buy spare filters. Given how tiny the Disco/RR filters are there's clearly no biggie on filter capacity.
