Filling the Gap?

Fri 270511

Yup, me just trying to fill the "Gap".... a gap of many days offline!

And yup, Life As Is is slowly but steadily getting back to like normal again...

So as not to be assumed as inactive totally, here are a couple of how me have been keeping myself busy...

Yup, our new "baby" (and yup, it's our new "ride"...barely 2 months old only) has been my latest and best distraction from the ups & downs of Life As Is. And yours truly felt the feeling of being in a 1-Malaysia kind of group...a 1-BLMer group! Me became a member of a BLM Club and this one even has its official stickers c/w Membership Registration No.! Me? #610...hehe...

A pic to share...of Member #610 :

Now I hear voices saying, "You are not alone..." Haha!

Beside that me was caught up in a new DIY venture after visiting another local car forum...concerning how one can improve the cabin air quality that one gets coming out through our car aircon vents!

Yup, the standard filter as fitted in our PS FL is nothing actually to shout about. In fact NOTHING at all to shout about because it practically allows almost all dirt/dust within the car cabin air to pass through! See pic of original filter below :

And there are aftermarket paper filters easily available which can do a much better job...of course at a nominal cost!

So me searched and found a couple of sellers. Of the two, one trader came out tops! And me had ordered a couple more such replacement filters for future use...they should be arriving tomorrow if everything goes fine.

Anyway, next pic shows where the replacement filter has to go in...the air-con filter box situated just behind the glovebox.

Simple, isn't it? Looks simple only!

Me had to cross a couple of "hurdles" before getting to this point of the DIY!

Yup, one unseemingly "huge" problem was to drop down the glovebox so that those aircon items were easily accessible.

What can I say? Eureka! I finally did it!

Well, this will have to do till the next post...having problems even creating this entry today!

Something is not working right...

Update (280511) : My 2 new replacement filters ordered have arrived! (Pic of one of them follows... ) Will be keeping them as spare replacement units when it's time to change the first one already installed...probably after 10 -15k km?

Btw I have tried to fit the new paper filter into the confines of the original filter but failed! Paper filter is too big in spite of it being kinda small when installed into the filter box in the car. Had thought it would make a better fitting installation than as is now.
