I've heard that you can buy an adaptor, which whenn you take the air filter housing off, fits on to the top then you can put cone filter on. does any one no if you can actually get these??? if so where can i get one from???
 
You can buy a filter to fit directly. Look at K&N's pages. Measure the flange of the throttle body and find one that'll fit.

Ill just repeat what ive sed in another section here:

You can buy the adapters from demon tweeks and the like

They hav loads of adapters, the one ive seen is called a 'bosch jetronic adapter' and u can get em so that u can fit different sized cones

I dont know anyone thats fitted one of these to an Uno, just a Clio [}:)] so i dont know bout how good they are

I've been in touch with Pipercross, and they say the adaptor won't fit the SPi on the Uno's.

So aftermarket filters must be bought after measuring the flange on the throttle body.

The throttle body is underneath the air filter box. First detatch the air filter housing and remove the filter. Pull off the oil breather hose and vacuum hose from the air filter box. Unscrew the nut on top of the filter box, and withdraw it. Be careful so you don't damage the seal. Now your throtle body is revealed. You might refer to the throttle body as an injection unit.

Example of a flange: Your exhaust consists of separate parts. The pipes are placed into each other. These are flanges. A flange has different meanings as well, but in our situation about the throttle body it means the rim on the surface.

Well i didnt know the adapter wouldnt fit, thanx Morten Norway for checking it out, i was going to buy one soon so now i know!!!

If the filter just goes over the throttle body, would that mean you could fit a filter like this:

Hei Chris.

I think this filter is for a carburettor. It might be too little space (near bulkhead - called "torpedo-wall in Norway) for the filter above.

I've been in touch with the Norwegian K&N importer, but we haven't made any deal yet, and therefore not chosen the appropriate filter. I'm waiting a month until the MOT is passed before doing any investments.

It'll be alright with a conic air filter like this:

and then routing cold air from the bumper etc. towards it.
