I've never used them before (usually go for Mann or Mahle) and saw them on ECP today, so did a little research and came across these posts on other forums:
"crosland wasn't my first choice brand of air filter, but it was allegedly the only one on the shelf that day, so i took it. subsequent google-ing shows that crosland is closely linked with the factor (euro) so i'm a bit suspicious...
then i had a definite "wtf" moment when i went to fit it and found it was too thin, only by a millimetre or so, and similarly height and width a teeny bit smaller than the one i took out, but this allowed the new filter to rattle in the casing and so allow unfiltered air through the gap round the edges and up into the throttle body! it's definitely the right numbered filter for the model, it's just a cheap build."
and this..
"you are right crosland filter was bought by euro car parts a few years ago. we have had a few crosland's mainly older cars when that's all the factors have in but tend to fit mann filters or adl blue print as a rule. a quick google search and this came up on a bmw forum:
many years ago crosland were a real major player in the filter world. i sold them for over ten years. crosland were then sold to sogefi who own fram, purflux and a few others. euro car parts bought the name only, no development, no technical back up, nothing. just the name. now they buy the cheapest filters from around the world you've never heard of box them and sell on the perceived quality of the name. would you put the cheapest on your car ??? "
I'm sure it'll be fine, but just wondered if you had any personal experience of them considering what I'd read earlier that's all.
