Yes, the Pollen Filter is located in the bulkhead at the back of the engine bay to the right hand side as you look at the engine.
Carefully prise off the black plastic splash cover at the bottom of the windscreen (it 'lips' over the front of the bulkhead).
The Pollen filter is just underneath and simply lifts out.
*TOP TIP* - Firstly Hoover around everywhere to remove bits of leaves etc BEFORE you remove the old filter so as not to allow bits to fall directly into the fan.
Make sure you put the splash cover back on right, you have to slide it to the left so it laps over (or under?) the next piece then make sure it lips back over the front of the bulkhead. On the back of the splash cover is some black foam, mine had fallen down partially blocking the filter
I simply spray glued it back in place.If you don't put it back on right you will flood the cabin when it rains
It's an easy job though if your reasonably handy, the filter is around £19.00 from the dealers, best to get a genuine one really.
