well we now know we have them so heres how to change or clean them I went with cleaning them as there over £30 each and theres 2 of em!! this is in my EP91 I am not too sure on the 82 but I think they will be the same but I am sure some one will clear that up!

first locate the filters the are at the bottom of the heater box under the passenger side, very easy to get to compared to most cars! Remove the 3 pegs that hold the cover on, they just pull out.

then drop the cover off the bottom it just pulls off it may be a bit stuck mine was as its not been off in the cars life time! then the first filter drops straight down.

then put your hand up inside the box and get hold of the other filter its towards the front of the car. Get hold of the filter and lift it up a bit and pull it towards you then drop it down same as the other.

both the filters are the same they have slots on ether side that lock together once there in the box

once there out you can ether clean them out with a blow gun as I did and put them back or replace them. I would not clean them with water as they seam to be made of some type of paper. mine work fine now just with all the crud cleaned out so they will do for me!!
To put them back just do the same again in revers they are very easy to do!! I hope this helps every one!

well it turns out you can wash the filters with water! Paul_JJ sent me these picks to ad to the tutorial!! cheers for that Paul!

This is 100% washable filter and you will be shocked to see how much s**t is in there, it takes about 30 min to wash it and then about 12 hours to dry. where I hold it with my hand - it's washed by wet! (by paul_JJ)

great info.. it also helps the air flow from the fan.. bit of rep for you

done my girlfriends this morning. was simple enough to do. used an airline and ALOT of crap came out. blows alot better now. can actually feel the air movement ;)
