Anyway, I decided to check the plenum drains, as the car is new to me, and also have a look at the pollen filter while I was in there.

I eventually managed to wrestle the pollen filter out and I have a horrible feeling that it has NEVER been changed. The car has been serviced by the same indy garage since new.

This is what I found...

Is this why I was feeling drowsy, I wonder? Lack of oxygen?
Drowsiness is to do with the inhalation of something noxious, not lack of oxygen, that is dizziness.
