    sweet ... i intend to pop a new filter in.. Cost of the non-OEM filters are cheap and it is easily accessible.

    The initial concern was the smell and that's actually gone for now

    It's funny as with the capped servicing the thing they drop off is the pollon filter, one of the cheapest easiest and most useful things to include.

    Indeed. People wouldn't have a clue if their engine oil had turned to treacle but we all know when our AC smells like dirty socks.

    When i was at the airline an old bloke I worked with would say "Who gives a toss if an engine fails mid-flight - nobody will notice unless it catches fire. Just make sure the toilets don't break down or there will be hell to pay." He was on the money.

    Oh yeah, there have been a few bad toilet incidences in recent times and the news travels fast.

    Those who preferred a failed engine over a failed toilet in an aeroplane probably didn't live long enough to explain their choice.

    yeah .. plane jokes are are a bit non-PC at the moment with the unfortunate incidents we've had in the last 12-24 months .. RIP

    But having said that, I would not want to be sitting next/near an airline toilet.

    Going to have a play with Glen 20 this weekend if it stays sunny this weekend !

    Certainly aeroplane seats located next to toilets are the least desirable. See seatguru.com. Nice Avatar Tuan!
