How to change fuel filter

This is odd, can't figure which one I need and it's pi55ing down so can't be bothered to stick head under bonnet;

first pic is off famousfour.co.uk and listed as Fuel Filter Element
Td4 up to 2A355492 and looks like pic in manual but my vin code is 3A!

second pic also off famousfour.co.uk and listed as Fuel Filter
Td4 2A355493 onwards looks like one in a '2003 model year on' pic in the manual and seems to be in rear wheel arch

third pic is what halfords sold me but am fairly confident it's wrong and is for an L series engine

fourth pic is out of the manual as being 'up to 2003 year model' and sits in corner of engine bay in or around big plastic black box and looks like the first pic

Anyone technical in?!?!?! Car is not one of the facelift versions, must be the year they changed over as it has some fancy bits stuck on (just stuck the camera out of the window for a pic)

Had it all to bits, it's not in or under the big plastic box in engine bay! Drivers side rear wheel off, arch liner off and it's tucked away in there and it seems to be picture 2. Going to stealers tomorrow to get right filter this time and may as well do oil change at same time

Done it today, took about hour and a half, bit fiddly and messy but got there in the end. Back to test centre and went straight through emissions test, couldn't get it to read below 3 last time after 6 attempts, was 0.65 first go this time so must have done a load of good.
