Following on from this, I think that our Aussie spec cars get an A/c Filter as standard... pitty I don't have the car yet to check...

I only know that the left-hand drive models don't have A/C cabin filters because there is no room to squeeze in the filter frame because of the placement of the blower. For that simple reason, Toyota decided that if the frame wouldn't fit, then the filter wouldn't either. But actually, with a little massaging, the filter can sit flat over the blower without the frame and function very well.

So, I'm curious if the right-hand drive models have the same problem, or if they are fitted with the filter. Let us know.

Will Do... but I hope you don't mind waiting until October when I take delivery.
Actually, better yet, I'll give the dealer a call tomorrow and ask him.

Also, just a word of caution, when lowering the glove box door, ensure that the tiny shock absorber doesn't get broken, like I did to mine . The LB may not have it: anyway, just pop it iff to the side until finished. Good luck!

Well I rang the dealer and am actually more confused. Sales guy said yes. Rang the spare parts guy and he said no. Got him to check for a part number and he couldn't find one....So, odds on that no part number means no filter.
