a little bit of a pain considering its ussually v easy to change on other cars. I personally would recommend a new pollen filter every year

Yeah, I changed mine recently and the old one was pretty horrific to look at. The little chamber it's in is usually filled with leaves too, and the heater fan.

Whereabouts is it?
Or am I being thick and realised I replaced it when I put the BMC on?

Speaking from other people's experiences I do believe it is behind the glovebox inside the car.
*note to self..........must change it!*

It is yes... to change it you need to remove the glove box and the metal bar behind the glove box, then disconnect the fan (I think its the fan wires...) and then the cover just lifts off leaving you looking directly at the filter...
My fan is making a horrible noise at the moment (leaves stuck in it probably!) so I need to change the filter and hoover out the housing...
Where can you get them for £6??? Best I can find is £15 online!

Mine was until Tues night... Dropped the fan out and got some silicone spray in around it. Now.... silence.
