I am removing gubbings to remove the headlamps to give them a clean prior to fitting a HID kit. Following the handy guide on these forums. But i cant remove the frickin standard air filter. I see it has some mounts on the left and right sides that go under a metal brace. But i nay know how to unfit them or whatever. Help plz

Let us know how you get on - you're doing exactly what I want to do when it gets a little warmer ;)

Aye i stumbled on that guide. Not to hard to take out. Remove top half of air filter box. Remove the pair of filters. Then with the extra leverage room remove the two screws that are out of side at the bottom right and left of the air filter.

 

I then removed the big fan in a jiffy. But that underside headlamp bolt in the far corner omfg! I have not removed either of left or right headlamp one. Its very confusing. I have a 12mm spanner with a rachet action on it. I think i put it all on and start turning it off. But the bugger does not move one bit. At the moment after cursing the bolt i am inclined the drill the bleedin thing out. I dont get why a spanner or socket seems firmly on the bolt but when i turn it clockwise.. it does not really turn.

 

:rant:

Standard airfilter shouldnt be too hard to remove, you've prob missed a screw some where which is why they wont come out. That or you should give it a good yank as that's what I had to do!

Air filter is out m'lud. Its the feckin headlamps im having grief with and the last evil bolt in the inside far corner
