Air filter to Connie

tankie1rtr · 20th April 2012, 13:12

Ok Guys.
A, I thick or what, I have just bought a new air filter for my connie, I have taken the plastic shrout off that covers the engine, I was expecting to find a box that I pop the top off and just drop the filter in, no such luck, so I traced the air intake to the box behind the engine, I have undone the screws in the top, but it still wont open, I presume I am looking in the corect place????? and how do I get to top of to fit the new filter.

There's 5 captive bolts to undo to get the top off, 2 around the back.
There's a how-to somewhere, hang on..

Arctic's thread has, as always, excellent photos showing how the top comes off

Although pic number 6 in that thread is supposedly an under bonnet picture, I don't remember it looking like that, must be the v6

I was in York last week collecting some bits from an 04 Petrol, Connie SE that a bloke is breaking, I still have the his number if you need anything ?

It had a perfect black leather interior with heated memory seats, headlight washers etc.

Yes please, that would be great, mine is a Diesel with Stone Colour upholstery, but its handy to know for spare headlights and stuff.

Thank You
Much appreciated

I had same problem first time I tried it. I got the 3 at front plus the one on right hand corner. The one back left 2" in from corner is hidden away. Simples when you know how.

Thanks to everybody who posted a reply, its easy when you are shown how to do it, I did it in 15 mins after reading your "How To" ........ before I asked I stood there with the three front bolts out scratching my head for a full 20 mins.

Thanks Guys.

I had the headlights and wheels off it, I also removed the fogs for him as he already had a buyer for them. I'll PM you his number.
