    They are better than a breather. Pretty sure atmospheric breather filters arent allowed, its meant to filter back into the car.

    Not fitted mine yet, but seems fairly simple, they come with a drain plug so you just drain it once it is getting full and dispose of the waste.

    check out http://www2.obp.uk.net/catalog/index...457adcd4068647

    thats where I got mine from, think they have an offer on at the moment too.

    Ive seen a fair fee behind the air filter, also in cars with the battery moved mounted there.
