I have an original fitted on my LC 180 2001, no mobs, and would be grateful on advice which up graded replacement i should go for, i have heard of called "green" filter, well something like that from memory, any good?

Your recommendations welcome.

Yeh, Greencotton are critically acclaimed by many, many people.

If you're in the market for a replacement panel filter, and not an induction kit.. then I'd recommend Greencotton's filter element. Good stuff..

MANY suppliers, but here is the one you'd need.

There's a guy on eBay doing them for £39.99 plus reasonable postage, seems to be a little cheaper than most of the usual suppliers.

Thats the one Green Cotten, knew there was green somewhere in the word.

Cheers Guys.

Get a RE-USABLE performance filter.

K&N for example....

My Greencottons have always been RE-USABLE. Hence my purchase of the Greencotton cleaning detergent and filter oil.

Ummm no contest in my view, judging by the comparisons on the net, free flow filter in smoothed standard airbox and 3-4 inch inlet pipe over an induction kit, if you don't want any heat soak prob's and better air flow it seems...

Defo go for the Green Cotten Filter, I put the OEM back in to get car serviced and really did notice a difference . Put the Green back in and it feels much freer - don't know if thats a word but it sounds right

Can just an air filter make the car sound better. During the service my LCR Throttle Body was very dirty and the dealer had to clean it out. Will the filter prevent this?

Regards.
