But changing the filter yourself is an easy job. As easy as changing your
own oil-easier, even. If the dealer doesn't, do it yourself! And you won't
charge yourself the earth either... Besides, it says on the box 'Suitable
for air conditioned cars'
The box also recommends changing the element every 9.4K miles.

Pianisten nemen altijd plaats achter de piano. Pianofabrikanten weten dat
en houden er ook rekening mee. Daarom zit het toetsenbord aan de achterkant.
Het is even zoeken, maar het went op den duur wel.
