Re: D4D diesel filter housing/assembly
Yup, have been taking it to Kuilsriver prior to TV, but just couldn't take the traffic anymore. Also when they drop you at work, you 1st do a ride along dropping everyone from that area.
Still under warranty,so for now it will have to do.

Re: D4D diesel filter housing/assembly
Just for the other members, Imperial Toy at Cape Gate sorted me out and about R300 less than the 6 other dealers I phoned which all just stated the same (increased) price. What was shocking is that I replaced the filter about 3000kms (2,5months) ago and now looks like this already. Is this normal?....

Re: D4D diesel filter housing/assembly
Spoke to Donaldson and they confirmed they have the replacement filter and a different housing, but not a similiar housing as is in the vehicle now. I suspect dealers seems to be the only option @ +-R1300. Cant believe that there is no alternative/generic option.

Is it worth fitting these old school (non-led) type spots or do guys mostly just do it for the look. Is there any real improvement in visibility at night?
