It's a life time filter as far as I'm aware. Located under the rear seats.

Main problem is the top of the filter housing cracks and starts leaking petrol. Mine was on its way so changed last year. There‘s the main filter plus a fuel strainer which fits inside the housing, IIRC it was about £60 for both with a short wait on the strainer. Pretty sure there‘s a guide on here - pretty simple to do, just take your time.

Some pics halfway down the page. Probably won‘t help much...

Thanks mate. Did the car feel better once u changed it ?

Nope! It was more preventative given the cars age and mileage (2001, c63k miles or so).
