   can you buy the filters from anywhere? just looked on ebay couldnt see any
   
   ive cleaned it plenty, just thinking been on a year and a bit could do with new one instead of cleaning it all the time

   the only reason you need to buy a new filter is if they get clogged.
   Cotton filters are easily cleaned so you dont need to buy a new one. Get a hose and spray onto the filter from the inside to get the big crud off. Then immerse the filter in a soapy solution and leave a little while for it all to have an effect then rinse off and dry.
   Once dry re-oil.
   
   What have you used to clean it in the past..

   not at high pressure. You want to push dirt out rather than drive it through. You want the inside as clean as possible
