    Martin,
    I don’t think for our cars the footwell is the right place. Air intake is thru the front air fans?

    Robert,
    that's what I wondered too. But looking at the evaporator fans, it seems, that they take the air from the car's interior. Not?

    I don’t see air intakes in the car only from the heater box tubes but I don’t have diagrams right now. Your picture seems sure seem so however.

    The air intake for the air conditioner is definitely from within the car. There is no fresh air.

    Only the heating air comes from outside.

    Easy replacement. But that’s what you’ve been breathing in all these years.

    I thought that's what filters are made for. The heater cores are perfectly clean. Anyway I still smoke :)
    I now will try something different instead of foam. I have a lot of oddments of G4 paint booth filters in fitting thickness.
    Much better permeable and filters much smaller particles than foam.

    Easy to guess. I assume, it's worse in Oz.

    Thank you.
    I use Rosso Service in Bel Air , Md
    Scott Lankford. I’m pretty sure he subs out the door cards to a guy that only does high end card.

    Once more regarding my heater core filter mess above. I found this in the OM. Does anyone actually perform this?

    I've cleaned mine a couple times; the first time was to remove the decayed old foam and completely clean everything in there (and it was pretty bad). I replaced with some AC/heater filter material from the hardware store.

    It looks GREAT!

    I think redyed seats look even better after a couple of years of use. The tread gets dirty faster than the leather so within a year or two the seats no longer look like they've been redyed.
