Title: Filters
Post by ColinE on Mar 12^th, 2007, 9:20am

Hi Guys
I checked the pollen filters on my 95 Ultima over the weekend, they look like they have not been changed for a very long time, I remember the forum saying to use Jetex filters as they are better, I checked their website in November last year the 504 filters were
£17.99, today I checked the site they are now £27.15 I think that is one hell of a hike in price in four monthes, with £6 postage and £5 vat I think this has made them very expensive.
I have ordered them, as I am hoping to take the car to France in June. But at this price it will be a long time before changing them again. {}

Bit late for you now, but I buy a sheet of Cooker Hood Filtration Material and cut it up. It works extremely well, and at a fraction of the cost.

You can also get Air Conditioning Filters at B&Q and Electrical Appliance Retailers and cut them to size. Or from Industrial Suppliers who supply Air Conditioning Filters for factory/office systems which are often very big. ;)

I won't buy the genuine ones, as they are (as you rightly say) a complete rip off.

Enjoy your trip to France. :D
