What no replies!

I would have thought that the price would have caused a bit of a stir..... £250

Thanks

Anyhow, we've been hoaxed - that's a dyson bagless cleaner isn't it?

If they do charge £250 for it, that is a bit rich for a carbon-fibre cover, wouldn't you say....?

Thanks

Aah, but it's got a reverse flow technology air filter inside it.

I think that's the motoring equivalent of "pro-v for added hair strength"...

I'd be interested to see how much the inside is different to the Pipercross "Vector" filter I have on the car already....

So they are finally copping on to the idea of linear air flow???
Wonder where they got this idea from

I would say this comment is a bit harsh - they have been reports of MAF failures on pretty much all brands of air filter at some point.

Thanks
