2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Stornoway Grey

Cleaning Foam air filters

OK, so had the car serviced and had previously taken out the ITG filter I was using so they didn't bin it or anything. They replaced the old stock one with another. I want to replace that with th ITG one again.

It needs cleaning, I have the instructions, but I don't know where to get my hands on the Silkolene cleaner and re-oil spray. Does anyone know where to get it? Or, any other product I can use?

In case anyone else needs it, here's a link to the cleaning instructions:

Is your filter really a HMP ? Profilters will last about 60,000 miles without much work in normal road conditions (not in the desert or on a potato farm). The Silkolene products are typically used for the filters in motorcycle trials bikes so you may find them at a specialist motorbike shop.

The first ITG I got for my D3 was a Handmade, the one I bought recently (as a spare but ended up installing it anyway) is a Pro which as far as I can tell just needs a good vacuming every now and then and then replacing when it doesn't seem to be doing its job anymore

There isn't a huge difference between a brand new standard filter and an ITG filter. However, the BIG difference is that the ITG filter will maintain its performance for much longer, whereas the standard filter will degrade quite markedly quite quickly in terms of air-flow capability.

unscrew the air box cover (6 retained screws, front left of engine bay on the petrol versions) and lift out the filter, see what state it's in.

Brand new it has a bright pink edge strip and bright yellow paper elements.

See my thread here on the removal of it:
