Ok, this ones easy, i changed the ones on the wifes car last week;
Open the bonnet and unclip the grill at the top of the engine bay, near where the wipers are.
You'll need a 7mm socket and a phillips screwdriver to undo the bit of trim with the loom attached to it. - pull this forward so you can gain access to the filters (yes there are two) replace them with the new ones.
then refit the parts you've taken off.
i hope this helps.

Heaters do not operate properly/demist not clearing screen.
