I had a very promp reply from Andrew at Allisport - his thinking is something to do with the remap. Hopefully the company which installed the remap can help - only time will tell. And yes - it's a lovely bit of kit!!

Do you think they would do a "group buy"? I would be interested! Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

Update - Andrew from Allisport emailed me to say try a genuine Land Rover MAF sensor. I had an old one I had replaced so put it on. Thus far success. The throttle response is noticeably better and the Defender is much more fun to drive. However, the chap in the video ( in my humble experience ) totally played down the difficulty of removing the old air box and associated pipework!!! I ended up cutting it all into manageable chunks. With the pipe work I used a heat gun to soften the plastic to get it out. But - seriously worth the effort.

Looks like great piece of kit. Honestly if I was to install this, it's because I like to tinker and I like quality. The performance element is a bit of a gimmick I think. Yes it will improve things at the top end of the rev range but who drives a defender at the top end. Of course after you spend all this money you will feel an improvement, because you just push that pedal a bit harder, it the placebo effect. You want a real noticeable difference you need to look at bottom end torque.

Still nice piece of kit!

I wish though they would get on and making me that new cooling expansion tank they been promising me for 6 weeks..

That looks very nicešŸ‘..
Not sure the rivits holding the latches on do it justice but that's just been fussy I supposešŸ˜‚
I'm curious as to the filters it uses.. Are they the common vacuum cleaner filter, and if so how does it compare to rated particle size for a normal automotive filter??
I'll no doubt have a Google at some point but someone may know

I donā€™t know the exact model but these types of filters are common in trucks, excavators, ag. machinery etc. itā€™s not a domestic hoover filter. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Looks a nice bit of kit!

The number is on the filter in the picture. I would say the clips are riveted on so if they break, easy replacement.

I did try those numbers in a search but didn't come up with anything specific.. I'll check again..
The rivits in the picture I just thought looked a bit untidy next to the quality work.. Something a little more discrete.. Smaller rivits even.. Honestly it's just been picky.. I know that..

I don't think the tdci air box is on the Ali sport site yet but they will take an order if you get in touch.. Quite a wait I think..

Yes as said above you need to contact them. There is a 8 to 12 week lead time. Hopefully mine is going to be shipped mid January.

I think theyā€™re on back order because of demand. Youā€™ll have to picā€™ up the phone and call them or email.

Has anyone asked Allisport about water ingress into their airbox, I highlighted this on page 2 of this topic as it does happen with the Nugget Stuff airbox if you have a wing side or wing top air intake and the Allisport one looks functionally the same, I.e no water separator or drain fitted.

Ianh wrote:

Note: one issue that some have encountered when changing out the old airbox and intake pipe for a nugget one is during heavy rain moisture, in some cases a lot of water, gets into the airbox and soaks the filter and builds up in the bottom of the airbox ( a very bad thing).
This happens if the standard side or wing top is used for the new air intake pipe as there is no water separator or airbox drain fitted. As the Alisport solution does not have a moisture separator or airbox drain this could also cause moisture / water ingress during heavy rain.

The solution is to fit an RAI / snorkel with a cyclonic filter at the top.

So something to think on and ask Alisport about
