S1 fuel filters

Where are the fuel filters on the S1 and are they easy to change?
Next to the engine (think it's LHS next to airbox IIRC) Follow the fuel pipe back from the rail & you'll find it quite quickly. metal cartridge about 5" lomg & 2" diameter clamped in place with a little bracket.
You should pull the fuel pump fuse & then start the car till it starves it's self to depressurise the system prior to breaking connections. (have some paper towel handy) The connections are threaded unions each end.
At one end there is a push fit connector connecting the short piece of pipe going into the filter with the fuel supply pipe. If you undo it it helps access.
