A quick query, do any of the late mark6 escorts have pollen filters? Only those with A/C? My haynes manual doesn't mention one, but I would have thought that a car with A/C surely had a pollen filter! Taken a look but it's dull here and no light available really, so will have

My friend has a R reg. Mondeo and I have an N reg. one. They both have similar faults and having read previous posts talking about vacuum hoses being the problem, I wonder if the two cars use the same control system and if we both have vacuum pipes split.

I started giving my AX its 72000 mile service today. When I came to the fuel filter, the new one I'd bought had the arrow pointing in the opposite direction from the one which was fitted. I fitted the new one according to the arrow and the car is running, but the filter
