Pop the bonnet, undo the quick release fasteners x 3 on the LH side of the bulkhead near the windsceen scuttle. Remove the plastic cover.

You will see the cars ECU and just behind that, a plastic rectangular lid. Flick the catches and hey presto, the cabin filter pulls upwards and out. Hoover any bits and pieces that may have accumulated down the bottom. Fitting is the reversal of the above.

Just remember to put the new one in observing the air flow direction arrow printed on the outside of the filter.

I found where the Cabin Filtis on my 2017 F-Type R. I can’t believe when I searched the web for the cost to replace with a NEW filter and install. $250! ROFLOL!

I bought an OEM filter and replaced it in 5 mins!

Total cost: $28.35 with FREE shipping!

I can’t believe the dealer mark up for the filter $131 and Labor at $119! Is that 1 hour of labor or a 1/2! lol
