Changed the engine air filter on the 308. Was more annoying than I envisioned.
I had looked at some online tutorials, seemed okay. Except my GT variant of the THP engine has a larger intake tube and less space; the air filter is rammed back underneath the wipers and against the firewall. The screw for the hose clamp, obscured by a small reservoir. So ended up removing more screws and parts just to be able to access it.
Took an hour. And in classic Matt tradition, broke a couple plastic clips along the way

Here's an old pic (looks nowhere this clean now lol). It sits nicely on top underneath the windscreen, held by 3 T-20 screws up front but there's not a ton of room to work nor to swivel the intake hose !
The Prince engine was co-developed with BMW/Mini, so the part is also shared and there's a lot of BMW connectors.......
