Has anyone changed their in-cabin/pollen air filter yet? I looked behind the glovebox yesterday and it's not there. What is there appears to be the blower. Right now I'm assuming the filter is below the glovebox and in the footwell similar to the location in the Discovery Sport. I wanted to check with others before I begin to take that area apart. Thanks for your help.

 

I haven't checked mine but I suspect what you call a blower is actually the pollen filter.
To access the pollen filter:-
Behind the glove box
The Ignition must be on.
A/C in manual mode.
A/C in reticulation mode.
Please let us know what you find

Haven't done mine yet. It appears to be above the rear blower assembly. I am suspecting that item 6 can be pulled out for filter replacement.

 

I don't know but I suspect the door opens in reticulation mode

 

Curious. Has anybody tried any other filter than the LR036369 filter? I want something with a little more filtration than the OE filter. I have tried three aftermarket filters that said they would fit, but they were just not the same size. Mahle's website said their LAO/K 490 filters fit the D5's, but they don't. Tried the WIX 24511 and it didn't fit. Tried a PurolatorBOSS PBC35667 and it didn't fit. I have have a MANN CUK 1919 on order that says it cross-references to the LR036369 filter, but I have my doubts.

 

I use the WIX 24511, from Rock Auto $10 works well.

 

I tried that filter and it did not fit my pollen filter tray. The problem that I have determined is that the OE filter in my vehicle is just not the same size as the aftermarket filters that are supposed to fit and be analogous to LR036369. My OE filter pictured below in the filter tray is just longer than the OE filter. I loosely measured my OE filter something like 8 3/8" x 8 1/8" and all of the replacement filters that I have tried have been the same size, roughly 7 1/2" x 8 1/2". I've never had such trouble finding a replacement filter! I hate to put the tray back into the dash without the filter, but I need to take the filter into the dealer and measure out the LR036369, it's not supposed to be this difficult.

 

Strange........I had replaced the one in my totalled white D5. I will take a look at what my new rig???

 

Update. I am in a FB group page for the D5's that has members from all over the world in it, and I had a mate in the UK with access to the JLR computers run my VIN and verify the correct filters. Definitely, a new filter size that is not quite readily out there just yet. LR133345 is the standard replacement filter but if you have the ionization the upgraded filter is LR133511. Sent a note to my local dealer to see if they even have them in stock. Very interesting!

 

Good information.
