Hahaha honestly as sure as I'm sat here, this has been in there from new!!!
The inlets have never been off before, the only thing that's been off is the TB and I don't smoke anyway!!!
I think it's slightly too big to have made it's way in, it is about half the width of the port but where the split is in the port, it wouldn't go through either side unless it managed to turn perfectly length ways. I was going to try and clean it up to see if there's any logo or brand on the filter but I don't realy want to ruin it. It's a white filter with two gold stripes around it and then what appears to have been black or brown paper... The plan now is to find a way to preserve it and attach it to the underside of the bonnet for good luck hahaha!!!
Friend of mine found a cigarette butt in his 200's alternator... Almost impossible to get it in there... I'm sure it's a prank played by bored mechanics who put our cars together...
that surely must have gone in through the airbox. Always finding fag ends in there before the filter, so if the filter hasn't seated it could easily have got past there.

rubbish! if the filter was that badly fitted surely the gatekeeper would have noticed,and if that was the case the engine would have failed by now what with the other crap on the roads
