Pollen Filter
Thought I would sort a few things on the S as she approaches her 6th birthday.
New striker plates will be fitted soon but I thought I would take a look at getting a replacement pollen filter having never replaced it.
So picked one up from the local dealer £22 all in after S2KUK discount.
Part number 79831 - S2A - 003 (2005 car)
Really easy to replace :
1, lift bonnet
2, remove weather strip that runs along the top of the bonnet (tip use a socket set under the clip - there are 5/6 of them - to gently pop them out)
3, lift black plastic strip along the bottom of the windscreen on the battery side
4, un-clip white holder
5, un-clip white (probably black) filter from it's surround
6, clip in new filter
7, clip in holder under the plastic strip
8, replace weather strip
Job done!
Here is a pic of my old filter.....

I've done few in various cars, in some the airflow change was noticeable.

LOL reminds me when I first got my car
Bought a new pollen filter.. open up the window trim to fit it... OMG WHERE IS THE OLD ONE? Just some leafs there LOL
.. don't blame them though, they are bloody expensive
