It now makes a raspy sound as I change gear and is slightly louder although the KAP box already sounded louder.
Also to point out, My jim used to do 200 miles to £40 and it did 220 and still had some life left after fitting the new filter so thumbs up to K&N.
If you havent got one already, GET ONE!!

However I have a friend with a 54 plate Defender who said that the oil off the filter leaked down and caused her £80 of damage so I'm reluctant to change to a K&N filter on my Jimny.
Anyone had any bad experiences with a K&N or is my mate a one off?

As regards to ever having that happen, I cant vouch for a jimny as I have only had mine on a couple of weeks but I have had them on a couple of cars in the past and never had a problem but this might boil down to this oil thing!

Because they are oiled filters, when you clean them you have to re-oil them. Some oil comes out as air flows through them (I suspect they don't drip) its quite a well known problem and effects some cars worse than others. Its been covered on here before too.

I also used dry cleaning fluid to wash the filter.
