Hi all, it's service time and I need to change oil, fuel & air filters. Any recommendations on brand, or where to buy? Am particularly interested in anything which will improve mpg! They are for 2000 2.5TD. Thanks

Club shop was doing a special deal on a filter pack. Bargain.

Thanks Wonkanoby. The spec for the K&N filter is for up to 1999 vehicles but mine is 2000. I spoke to K&N and this is the only one they do for a Bongo. Do you think it will be ok?

............so if they're ok for the later years the K&N ones will be too. I'll give them a try. Cheers

Hi geoff46,
The dimentions of the air filter was changed on the later models,the difference is,
outer diameter 1mm more
height 6mm shorter
inner diameter 1.5mm less
Not a lot
Cheers.
