Thanks for the heads up, but they are junk. Basically because they don't fit. Or to be accurate, I couldn't get them to fit. The Mann one slid in without a problem. I'm sure the OEM one does as well.

Thanks OP, ordered and will give a try in case they do fit

I'm sure I had similar issues on my E46. As mentioned the MANN ones are good and fit well. Never tried a Crossland on the E85 but it's so cheap worth a punt I guess. Be good to hear feedback? When they arrive (to those who have ordered).

As it happens, I ordered the MANN one of Eurocarparts E-Bay site this morning - £28 gibs all in...

I hope it's not junk! I have had one sat in my boot for a few weeks and never got around to fitting it. I paid probably about £12 for it with discount.

A bargain if they fit. Shame they dont state the dimensions, at least that would give you a clue. I've just recently bought & fitted a Mann one, doddle of a job. £22.42 delivered from carparts4less.

I've been told the one from Bosch does the trick

I took a punt on one when ordering a service kit for mine, I thought it couldn’t hurt at a couple of quid.

Not fitted as service not due for months. Can dig it out and measure if you want??

Let me know

Think we're talking a few different models here Argyll Andy? Unless you've got a e85/e86 as well?

Good point kis.
Just had another look on Eurocarparts & they do state a size for all their E85/E86 cabin filters as W247 x L233 x D33mm. The Mann website states the same: https://catalog.mann-filter.com/EU/eng/ ... CUK%202339
Sod it, for £1.50 delivered I've ordered one anyway. I'll report back on the dimensions when it arrives, unless someone beats me to it

Apologies, never noticed that

Yes I’ve got an E89

I managed to get a Crossland one for the wife's E85, came as a freeby from a mate............ long story.

Turned out it stuck out the bottom by about 8-10mm.

With sharp snips I removed the topmost fold and a tiny bit of the edge reinforcements. It fitted fine after that.
Yes I know it's a bodge and next time I will pay the little extra for a Mann one, but as I intend to change it yearly, and it cannot move or fall apart, it'll do me for now.

This is more or less what I experienced with my E46... it didn't want to fit

not sure if I made it fit in the end or just binned! Maybe they've improved their sizing now!

Well my Crosland cabin filters arrived this morning. They look really good quality tbh & the size is as stated so the same as the MANN one. If anything they might be a millimetre or 2 smaller from my measurements but I was measuring through the plastic bag. I took a punt & bought 2 so £2.98 all in & delivered by DHL. Well happy

.
They're currently at £2.99 each on Eurocarparts so still good value.
