What Air filter??

[sonny]

it's seems really expensive for almost nothing...

The GruppeM? If so, I would be very interested to have MRC work a custom remap on one. I think there would be gains to be had.

not meaning o pick faults but cant resist.... WD40 is a lubricant. yes it is a water repellant - but so is every oil!

copied from wiki:

The long-term active ingredient is a non-volatile, viscous oil which remains on the surface, providing lubrication and protection from moisture. This is diluted with a volatile hydrocarbon to give a low viscosity fluid which can be sprayed and thus get into crevices. The volatile hydrocarbon then evaporates, leaving the oil behind. A propellant (originally a low-molecular weight hydrocarbon, now carbon dioxide) provides gas pressure in the can to force the liquid through the spray nozzle, then itself diffuses away.

These properties make the product useful in both home and commercial fields; lubricating and loosening joints and hinges, removing dirt and residue, extricating stuck screws and bolts, and preventing rust are common usages. The product also may be useful in displacing moisture.

See thats why I hate wiki "The product also may be useful in displacing moisture"
FFS - thats what it was designed to do.
Just because it's in Wiki doesn't make it true.

Yes WD40 will act as a lubricant as it is petroleum based but incredibly short term - it isn't able to operate long term on moving parts and has considerbaly lower operating ranges than purpose designed products. For example, you'd never use WD40 on a bike chain.

Years ago I raced karts seriously and you can always tell the people who use WD40 as a lubricant... usually when the chain overheats and is launched into the car park.

Don't get me wrong, I use litres of the stuff but I don't kid myself that it's the solution to everything.

Do Euro Car Parts still sell the BMC filter?

Just looked and can't see it on their website.....

The only option listed is a Hengst panel filter that looks OEM

Only certain outlets might sell them, I purchased mine from there Catford (se Lonon) branch direct 12 months ago, Scaghead has just purchased one too. so they prob still sell them.
