Yes, I've tried the "search" function on the forum already - no joy 8-) Or maybe I'm just stupid...

Hoping for a LordCo/Napa/CanTire/??? part number for an L400 paper disposable filter (not an oil-foam washable type). I had the poor guy at LordCo trying every which way for 10 minutes last night. Anybody had better luck?

FWIW, the E2877 re-usable filter part sometimes referenced here does not appear to be the correct one for this vehicle. The one I need has the rubber seal around the middle.

Thanks in advance,

Tony.

Bump? Nobody?

I guess I'm off to the wilds of Richmond to get one then... :-)

The K&N E-2877 works. It has a centre seal. I wouldn't recommend it though. It clogs up fast and requires constant cleaning.

The 4M40 Paj filter doesn't fit properly.

Absolutely, they are totally different.
4D56 and 4m40 pajero use same air filter though. :M

I haven't finished it yet (haven't had time to go shopping), but:

Net time you replace your air filter, save the old one. Apply a torch (gently) to the bottom plate. This will melt the glue, and give you access to the paper element (This is as far as I am).

Pull/burn/cut out the old paper (possibly heat the top to replace the glue), which will leave you with an empty metal cage.

Stuff one into the other using adhesive top and bottom, and Bob is your Uncle, DIY reusable air filter.
