Same problem, with the advantage of having a left-hand drive, so the pedals are out of theway. BUT, the filter housing seems to be hermetically sealed. Haynes shows the usual grainy B&W pics making no sense, and while that not-so-much-a-video-as-a-minimalistic-sequence-of-nicer-than-Haynes'-photo's does actually show some bolts to be removed (Haynes says Unclip the cover??), I ain't got no bolts on mine (Dynamic 1.3 Diesel), nor any aircon, so what's the game? No aircon no filter? Or just a really well hidden cover with no edge. THanks to Tigertone 2000 for making me perservere . I'll have another go then.
Portland_bill has said if there is no a/c that the panel could be glued on? I managed it by grasping the front and back tabs where I removed the screws from, seemed simple when I decide I no longer cared if it broke! Haha.
