Tests have shown that aftermarket panel filters are no better than the Ford originals once the get a bit of dust in them. Just replace the Ford one regularly and it will flow quite nicely.
Thanks mate.....You have just saved me £35 on a panel filter
I service her every 2,000 miles as I am really anal like that! She has just been serviced using Castrol Magnatec 5/30 fully synth', Bosch Super 4 plugs, Halfords HT leads, Halfords air filter and an STP fuel injector cleaner.......Is the Halfords stuff ok?
Also....There is a resonater on the side of the air filter housing. I removed this and it makes a nice induction noise......But will it add power or loose it??
