    It's a pain in the bum and fiddly but well worth doing if it's not been done in the last 18 months (IMHO).

    I agree especially if you have the pipe that cools the glove box google it and you will see a link to YouTube I would also go for a can of air con clearer once you have changed the filter.

    It is a pain to get at but I managed it with little experience of car maintenance.  I think it was my second or third job, after oil and filter and air filter.  I found this vid useful when i did it and haynes.

    I have seen a few vids where they take the glove box out, is it just as easy to leave it in.

    I have left hand drive focus. On mine I have to remove throttle pedal to get to the filter. I thought that mine was pain in the ***** but it seems that right hand drive  filter change is even worse.
