Plenum filter replacement

I had never used 303 before, well only a Lee Enfield many moons ago :eek:

I found out about it by reading various forums, a lot of the guys who show cars seem to swear by the stuff, so I decided to give it a whirl, all good so far :cool:

Gotta love the show car scene!

Give yourself a couple of hours to do it. Follow the procedure step by step it's not too hard and no special tools needed.

It helps to have an assistant for this one, also my bottom windscreen finisher was slightly stuck by a bit of excess windscreen sealant and had to be gently prised off, being careful not to crack the windscreen. A non metallic scraper/trim remover is good for this.

Just be gentle and have patience, it's not a super hard job just a bit fiddly

I just checked our P38 and it does not have a filter or any sign that it ever did ?
Is it actually important to have one apart from stopping leaves and crap getting in there. ?

Jeez what next what else.

Mate it just stops leaves and crap getting into your pollen filters, which is why i replaced it with synthetic fly screen wire.

If you took yours apart you would most likely find the remnants of some roughly 15 yr old foam hanging about :angel:

Next job.
My new pollen and plenim filters arrived this morning from Mr Automotive.
$115 to my door.
Excellent.
Just have to buy a yard of plastic flyscreen mesh when I go shopping on Thursday.
