MG MGF Technical - K&N panel filter for standard airbox

Can anyone provide me with a K&N panel filter part no that fits the standard airbox on my MGF 1.8i 2000 MK11.

I have done a K&N product search by dimension and I have come up with KN33-2762 (application Rover 25) this matches the length 268mm and width 107mm of the Crosland 9265 standard paper filter I am using, but not the height of 55mm.

However because the height of the K&N33-2132 for the MGF VVC model is 29mm, the 32mm height dimension of KN33-2762 could be suitable as KN filters are traditionally not as thick as the standard OE filters.

Can anyone please check and confirm that KN33-2762 would be suitable for my car or provide me with an alternative.

Eric,
I was a bit board so had a trawl through the archive.
Worth a look as there is a lot of confusion.

The best advice I saw was...
g hampson, Lancashire, United Kingdom
I went through all this when ordering my K&N panel, spoke to the guy at K&N office in Warrington, rang just about every MGF specialist.
Upshot - ignore what K&N and their calalogue say. Give Moss a bell tell them you want a K&N for whatever model you have, and they'll send you the right one, about 30 quid if I recall.

But that's no use to you ;)

Hi Thanks john for your thread, yes it is confusing, I have had a look at Moss and they have another K&N part no 33-2647 but in one instance they say suitable for 1.8i/VVC and then state lower down for VVC only. I have sent them an email asking for clarification before ordering. Many thanks for your help John, being located downunder makes it all more difficult. regards Eric

I bought the mk 1 VVC K&N from Moss and I'm afraid they sent completely the wrong filter 1st time (different length and width). They were happy to exchange, but I lost out a little on return postage (living in the UK that wasnt much of a issue for me!)

If you dont get any joy I'll have a hunt around in the loft, see if I can find it, and measure it up. (Much happier with the current 57i!)

OK, I bought KN33-2647 from Moss for my VVC and it appears to be 265 x 107mm outside measurements and 29mm in depth.

Eric,
I have a new Pipercross panel filter. I have a TF, but the seller sent me the F model. It is the same item as sold by Mike Satur (£30 + P&P + VAT). You could have it cheaper...If you are interrested, let me know.
Cheers,
