Pollen Filters (Or Not, As The Case May Be).

[Stephen Leak]

According to my new Haynes manual, Fiestas (Mk.6's and possibly others) without air con' aren't fitted with cabin air pollen filter elements as standard. The filter housing is there, but no filter element.

The Ford "bean counters" strike again.

So, I duly bought a filter. The difference in prices I was quoted (and I made it clear that I only wanted a basic one, not a posh charcoal impregnated one) was amazing. The worst was £17-odd, and that was from a local accessory shop, not the Ford main dealer. They only wanted £16-odd. The best retail price was £9.99.

The best price online was on good old eBay, £5.79 + free P&P.

It was a doddle to fit. See your Haynes manual or I could be persuaded to post instructions here.

Who's a lucky boy, then. But when did you renew it last? :P

Renewed everything at the begging of the summer there. Took me ages to find the Pollen filter though and had to end up asking on here where I could find it
