I am looking for feedback on the use of KN air filters.
Are they worth the extra expense?
Do they really improve consumption or performance?
If you fit a KN air filter will the LR warranty be invalidated? (assuming you leave it in when you go for a service)
Do KN make air filters for the D3?
Thanks

I got one a few weeks ago.
Cost £70
Improves oomph!
Improved my mpg - around 7%
Don't reckon it should affect warranty but always better to check beforehand.

At todays Diesel prices it will cost ronp £240,000 to go that far, just so he can save £30 on his next filter.
Come on ronp, what are you waiting for?
