In a fit of maintenance energy I changed the charcoal filters on the 99 210. Not too hard - though easier if you're smaller than me. Getting yourself turned upside down in the footwell isn't pleasant. I should get one of the kids to do it next time.

The charcoal filters didn't seem dirty at all even though they were 12 years old. We don't press the charcoal filter button much, so that's probably why. I have started using it more.

Note to the wise re: the keys. I had one stop working recently. Just stopped for no apparent reason leaving me with only one key. I went to the dealer and quickly ordered another for nearly $300. Somewhat painful, but its the new design fob and makes it feel like a new car...!
