oops, no air filter

[JimSuperSix]

Due to me getting the wrong air filter from the motorfactors, then taking out the existing one to compare it to, I completely forgot and drove the Surf around the block (perhaps 2 miles) with no air filter in.

Am I likely to have done any damage???

The new air filter I got is slightly too big, and has large green rubber edges, whereas the old one is pretty small and has a metal outer casing. I supplied the Toyota part number listed in the FAQs section to the motorfactors, so anyone know why it doesn't fit? Are there different sizes of filter airbox and can I just trim it slightly with a stanley knife, or should I take it back and try to get something else?

thanks
James

Best to probably take it back and then order the right one from Milners or Roughtrax.

3.0lt filters are slightly taller than 2.4's, so the lid doesn't fit properly.

and probably no damage, unless it was a particularly dusty day??
