Where are the air filters located on a D4

[Barraman]

I drove through a grasshopper plague recently and now my D4 stinks of BBQ grasshopper puree!

I got to work with the Gernie and cleaned off all the grasshoppers that I could find, but I figure they may have got to the air filter even though the vehicle has a snorkel. The air coming through the air-conditioning still stinks of grasshoppers.

I've had a look under the bonnet but it is not obvious how to get to the air filters.

Does the air-conditioner have its own air filter? If so, where is it located.

Any help would be most welcome.

Possibly the pollen filter.

The engine air filter is the black box at the RHS front of the engine bay and the cabin pollen filter is behind the passenger glove-box.

If in doubt read the handbook

Might need to check under the cowling below the windscreen. Pull the rubber seal off around the inside rim of the engine bay below the cowling and you should be able to lift and see underneath.

Engine Air intake with a snorkel should not enter the cabin, so it has to be the pollen filter as this is the only fresh air intake into the cabin.

The radiators may be choked with hoppers and enough odour escaping from the engine bay to enter the cabin air intake.

That’s my thought. Baked hopper on the radiator

It will be a long process as I have found out. A few years ago I was travelling to Broome and before Halls Creek I ran into several swarms and made the car putrid.
One weekend I was able to get the car into the back of the hangar and started pulling the front apart, and they were in every nook and cranny. I cleaned out as best as possible without dropping the bullbar which I did when I got home to Coffs and had some spare time. I also replaced the cabin filter.
The other day I pulled the LH front inner guard lining off to change the brake wear sensor and there were still some desiccated remains still there.

I found my way to the pollen filter. Clean as a whistle - and no odour.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get to the engine air filter. I wish LR engineers were not nearly as smart as they think they are.

And no, I don't have a service manual!

I've cleaned as much grasshopper from the radiator as I can get at.

Open the bonnet, undo the air filter box top screws, lift off air filter cover?
