filters

As for my previous post on the main air filter, allow me to re-advise how to remove it instead of starting to describe how to remove the dashboard as I seem to have done!!
I think I was drunk when I posted that, apologies!!

To remove the filter (which actually is rectangle not square and can be grey,white or yellow, no i'm not drunk now honest) :-

The filter box is always on the passanger side, regardless of wether your car is lhd or rhd.

open the passanger door and get on your knees outside the car. look under the passanger side footwell and you will see the black plastic filter box. There are 4 clips to undo it. You will be able to see 2 and the other 2 are on the rear. Depending on the age of your car, the base of the filter box may also be held in place by screws.
If it is, remove them. Pop the clips and remove the base of the filter box. the filter will now just pull out.
Replacement is just a reversal of this.
Be careful when popping the clips, the base of the filter box is a bit fragile and the plastic doesn't like to be bent too much before it breaks.
