Check those pollen filters

[Tom|Nbk]

Decided to have a go at mine today since summer is upon us and I suffer from hayfever badly.

To my surprise this is the worst pollen filter I have ever seen and I've done many in my time. I only wish I'd changed it a few months back when I got the car, to think I've been breathing air filtered through this! :dead:

For a five minute job it's worth doing if it needs it.

May sound a bit stupid, but where is it located? I maybe should check mine.

Shame there are a few pictures missing but it's easy enough to remove the scuttle panel, a simple plastic rivit pops out and then you unclip it and lift it out, really easy job.

worst you've ever seen? LOL, that's quite a good one, most are completely stuffed full of crap, and if they've been changed before, half of them are stuffed in and bunched up, not in the correct slot

Looked like the one in my Trophy when I changed it back in Feb.

Minging!

Mine was only changed a week ago when my car was serviced, I had no idea what they even look like or where they are!

I changed mine a few months back and it looked like that. It was easy to get out, but a pain to put back in straight.
