Some bloke on tiktok said if I run my air filter under the shower for an hour and then put it in the air fryer at 180 degrees for 15 minutes it would be as good as new.

Lolzzzzz chaps.
A fresh one has been ordered.
£4.95 delivered by Tpuk.

So......
Does anyone want to buy a "slightly used" Mk5 air filter?

Changed "grumbly prop bearing" today and noticed a suspicious bit of floor whilst underneath.

So like a total dick I poked it.
It produced a hole under the passenger seat.

Ford did away with the tilting seat arrangement,so I had to spanner the sh*t out of it

Tbh it's a wonder the seat hadn't fallen through.

Most of the rot was hidden by the tank,box section and the heat shield underneath.

I do like a challenge
