Pollen filter

Where is it?

It's not where the Haynes manual says it is (behind the glovebox) ......
..... well if it is, I can't find it.

Confused FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Thanks chaps, had the glove box lid off (as directed by the manual), but was looking at the area behind - not down to the side.
Best I take it off again though when you see the mess the guy in the video made of his filter.

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Orkney Grey

Hello

I'm guessing the pollen filter is in the same place on MY14 ?
Had a quick look and can't see it like in the Videos. Perhaps not looking hard enough??
Dealer was supposed to replace it at service last month or 2, but not convinced they did it , even though I did ask them to confirm it was done They just pointed to on the itemised bill ! Not too much proof . There's a bit of a stale smell and I've used one of those aircon bombs and it's still a bit stale. Yes I know, you're supposed to change pollen filter as well as using cleaner, but I thought the filter was new !

Thanks

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Orkney Grey

Got to it - pulled it a bit of the way out and it didn't look too dirty so put it back in. However I still have stale smell in car-it smells like a stale vanilla of the magic tree freshener I had in for a bit. I'm now thinking that' this hanging freshener was so strong it has impregnated all the fabrics , like the fabric under the roof and carpets etc. Might try some fabreze or something on these- any thoughts?

Well I bought a new one , but haven't put it in yet, cos it looks awkward. I assume the new one needs bending and manipulating. Still got the stale smell. The gliptonr leather conditioner smell hasn't covered it too much

Pollen filter is easy enough to change so worth doing, is the AC drain pipe blocked creating that smell. Do a search on how to clear it as they get blocked, also not a hard job to sort Thumbs Up FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Don't think it's blocked. There was a pool of water under the car when it was humid recently. It's more of a stale air freshener smell. Might have a go at the filter, seeing as I've bought it. Just don't want to wreck it while apparently being a contortionist getting it back in😃

Change it- you have the new filter already.
