Good stuff.

Yes, I've read somewhere else that the K&N filter oil is water soluble, and hence warm water with washing up liquid ideal.

I also read that petrol can weaken the filter structure, but I have no idea if its true....

Didn't know about the WD40 trick, but we've got the oil now, only £4 between us and should last a long time for my bike, and my mates 3!

Other trick I read about was using soda-water/carbonated water to clean it as the fizzing action really helps shift the grime. Might well try that!
