240 General: How to change your air filter

[Mike_Brace]

Here is the next in my "how to" series. As all our own vehicles run on sports air filters I have used a 240 breaker to demonstrate how it is done which is why no new filter will be seen.


The first thing to do is to undo the two clips at the top of the filter box which is located next to the radiator:











The air box will then be able to be opened by leaning the back of it towards the back of the car:





The filter can then be pulled out an d as can be seen his filter is very dirty and really overdue for change:





The cover pushes in at the bottom and can now be lifted clear (it may be easier to disconnect the air pipe first)





This picture shows the way the back slides down into the base to secure it:





The new filter is bedded into the groove on the box itself:





The back is slipped back at an angle into the bottom and closed up ensuring the new filter stays in position, It is then clipped into position by the two top clips:





Now if the air pipe was disconnected refit it.
