Well if you take a couple of 6" long screwdrivers with you it's
easy. http://www.dervman.com/hotair_files/image021.jpg
But if it needs a new air filter after 10000m then there's
something else wrong.

Might be a typo and be 98000 miles :-) Otherwise, if it's 8 years
old, a new filter will do it more good than harm anyway

Not a typo. 9800 (Nine Thousand, eight hundred miles). And as you
correctly said, it will not do any harm. Lovely Black Ka with aircon.
Not my cuppa, but great for the muver.

change the oil every year regardless of mileage.

And she exercises the a/c once a month and has had it re-gassed at least
once has she?

And your point is?

FYI, she uses it for demisting and in even the slightest hint of warmth.
If
you are banging on about using it to stop seals failing etc, then I can
assure you its icy baby and as good as new. Why did you even bring this
up.
Way OT.

Out of interest why does car aircon get less cold without use. My home
aircon has never had any problems and not used for most of the year.

Your home aircon has the pump & motor sealed inside the gas system, no
driveshaft seals.

Is it
just an urban myth because some cars suffer or is it all cars. Certain
does
not apply to the Ka in question.
