Dave. I think that you are talking about the desiel version, which actually has a specfic air box i believe.
On petrol models. The air box is built into the engine cover.
To get to it, just pull the engine cover off, its located on 4 posts. Turn it over and undo the self tappers. Remove the cover and change the filter. Fitting is the reverse of removal

Airbox
By the way sorry to hi jack this thread , but its a fairly relevant topic to the thread. Here goes.. if you buy an actual induction kit you have to leave the engine cover off am i correct? Does this cause any damage to the engine and all corresponding parts seen as it no longer has any protection or is the engine cover purely for aesthetics?

Maybe also need to remove one or two push-on hoses.Hamish wrote:Dave. I think that you are talking about the desiel version, which actually has a specfic air box i believe.

fittin a 57i induction kit will lose power because it sucks hot air in straight from the engine, if you use a panel filter which goes inside the original air box then u shud gain 1 or 2 hp, which it hardly anythin,i got a bmc panel filter befor and it was completly the wrong size just to let you know
