air filter - call me a numpty
pop out at lunch time to try as I had a spare 5 mins and thought I'd change the air fitlre over for a free flow type (green cotton).

dead easy - 30 second job.

oh no not quite so easy. I didn't have time on my hands (or tools)

took the 2 quick release clips off and thought that would be job done - but oh no.?

is it just a fiddle or do you have to take disconnect the air duct via the jubilee clip off first? or is there something else I just couldn't see - or is a little more oumph ! required?

thanks.

Its easy really i had the same prob the first time i had a go... you just need to lift the end up towards the bonnet where the clips are and give it a little wiggle as if you are pulling it towards the wing....also a little push down on the other end as it has two lugs that clip in at the wing end...its just as hard to put it back Whistle NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY.
