Adding to Rick's excellent write up:
There are two different cabin filters for the S-Type depending on VIN. I must have an earlier version than Rick's since I did not need any tools. I removed the 4 popup pins with my key and then removed the filter after popping the two filter covers. Somewhat to my surprise the old filter was a Ford Micron filter. Here are some part numbers:
FD02115 >PET PC<
2R83 180483 AD
Total time for mine was less than 5 minutes. No cold ones were consumed owing to the early hour on Sunday. I had to do it early since it has been over 100 degrees during the daytime.

Interesting Mike, no torx screws? The original filter was stamped with a Jag number and my replacement is a Ford as I recall. I do not think ours was ever replaced simply due to the filthiness in it.
You forgot to mention the humidity factor as well, here it was been 100+ F and 97% humidity! I thinkng I might start off today with a cold 1.....or 18

I noticed the same thing. I had to adjust my temperature setting up by 2 degrees because I was starting to get cold. Ravages of old age I suppose as well.

Just pulled mine out, I had to pull the push/pull pins and all of the torx screws to get at mine. I had no idea what I was doing so it took about 20 minutes before I got the hang of it. My filter was a Mahle LAK250, and it doesn't look that bad. Since I went through the efforts of pulling it out I will replace it. I hope NAPA has one in stock!
