I have read many questions regarding the later type fuel filter so I thought I would add to it with my findings.
First its located in front of the rear RH wheel (sitting in the seat) its sort of in the wheel arch but under the car.
The filter and pump are mounted to a plastic tray which is bolted to the chassis using 2x 10mm headed bolts. remove these, but to do so its easy to lay on the ground and crawl under the car.
The next trick i learnt was to remove the rear RH wheel this then allows access to the inner wing plastic cover.
Facing you are two plastic push button clips which hold said cover in place I removed these and pulled back plastic cover this allowed room to put my hand in and remove the fuel pipes.
(I removed 2x fuel pipes (1x from tank and 1x out of filter) which have quick release clips and the electrical conection to the fuel pump this then released the whole unit as one lump.
once on the bench the inlet pipe to the filter was easier to reach and filter was a breeze to change.
Pepe tip---- removing fuel pipe clips is easy if you make a tool, 1x pair long nose pliers + masking tape a small piece of wood to each nose, you can then use this end to sqeeze the clips in and release the pipe.
Piece of cake !!
