Default Pollen filter change Haynes Manual

From another members thread I have found there are a few Rover 75 Haynes Manual videos on YouTube.
Just watched one on changing the pollen filter, I've always had a fight to do this. Perhaps I should follow this video

I did the pollen filter last weekend. The main difference being my wipers didn’t just pop off!

I had to rummage through my cupboards and find a Crab puller to safely get them off. IIRC last time they came off Autoglass was fitting a new screen.

Wow that's drastic all that work when you can do it in 10 minutes maybe 15 your first time round.

Even easier if you have petrol car as the ECU is not as large as the diesel.

You can say that again!

I've always changed mine in a similar fashion to the way Arctic does it. You don't need to remove all that to get to it.

As it happens, I changed mine about a week ago and I did remove everything, but only because I've never taken it all off before and thought I'd give it a good clean out. The amount of dirt buildup under there, particularly at the bottom edge of the screen was quite surprising. However, it's not something I'll be doing everytime. Stick to the Arctic version for normal filter changes.

My cars are both diesels and as I said, I've had a fight to change my filters. I have always done it the way of your link and found it hard work.
I know the video is long winded but it looked easier.
Are you by any chance going to the bluebird meet in July?
