jackaroo air filter

Yeah the Genuine Toyota one for the surf is $95 ! Rediculous. That's why I use a uni filter....

I had heaps of trouble finding the right air filters for the Surf, there were three or four different air box's used in the buggers between 91' to 95'. I found persistance to be the answer. The trick is to have the genuine holden part number and then cruise all the different auto parts shops until you can find somebody who is actually interested in looking it up for you. The non-genuine paper filter for mine I ended up finding at Veal Autoparts. It was some obscure brand that I'd never heard of before, so I stuck the sticker from the box onto the air box so I'd be able to find them again next time. But the uni filter is a lot less hassle IMHO, you just poor turps over it to clean it, let it dry, whack it in a plastic shopping bag with a tea spoon or two of the filter fix oil rub it in and whack it back in again, just in time for beer o'clock! ;-)

Gronk,
I find Jackaroo World very helpful

I have bought a heap of original and copy parts from them. I can have original parts delivered to my door usually 70% of the cost from a dealership. You send off an order form from the website, they respond with a price, you deposit the money in an account in your city/town and they deliver within a few days.

unfortunately, electronic diesels dont like oiled filters, it stops the sensors from working and your on shank's pony....
Id be looking at the wreckers to see if a holden v8 filter from a dunnydore would fit it for that price....

Yep - that is a complete and utter rip-off and should therefore be ridiculed at every opportunity. Ryco do an A1504 - not sure on price - I'm into Unifilter on my Jack, but I have the aforementioned "CHECK ENGINE light on permanently - a sensor has 'oiled up', but that light is my only problem - the engine is still running sweetly (TW).

Yep ... www.sydneyfilters.com.au ... name brand filters at excellent prices. Last price I saw for a 3.0TD air filter from them was $31.20.
