You just press the clips in and then pull the pipes off.

Just in front of the rear drivers side wheel.

From memory it costs about £19 for a fuel filter.

Recommended to be replaced every 40k miles...  
Without traction power is nothing!

Really? 40K? It looks easy to get off but whats the process? Is there a valve to stop the contents of the tank draining all over the floor?
