Hi,
The wife, who rarely drives my truck, tried to switch from Petrol to LPG on my dual fuel 100 Series Cruiser while it was cold. This caused a noisy backfire, which I think in turn was the cause for the crack in the air filter cover I've now got.
I priced one of these from Toyota, and they were asking over $100, but worse still a couple of the clamps that hold the cover on are also busted. Of course, these are attached to the bottom part of the housing and aren't sold separately...cha ching $800+
I can't see that it's causing any problems (other than cosmetically). It's really just a crack about 4-5 inches long, and not a hole.
Do you think there's any dramas leaving it the way it is - if it needs replacing I'll do it and try to get one from a wreckers, but if it's not causing any problems I'll leave it the way it is...
Thanks,
Mike
