There certainly are some horror stories around re Crossland filters but since it's just a cabin filter I wouldn't worry. Sleep easy :thumbsup:

It didn't fit well at all. Mine was basically too long. I had to trim with a knife to get it in. I took it back to ECP, they swapped for a Mann filter and it slipped in, no probs.

Quick note gents, the original on the left is a carbon activated filter, the Crossland is not and doesn't fit as well therefore if you do change get the Mann carbon activated one from the off.
