Service item - cheap enough to replace every couple of years at the latest - especially if like most zoners you run round with £5's worth of unleaded sloshing around in the bottom of the tank

*adds fuel filter to ever increasing basket from ECP*
Many thanks.
Easy to swap over or fiddly mess? Don't think I've ever done a fuel filter before.

Depends where it is - if its the one mounted at the bottom of the passenger side inner wing in the engine bay its fiddly to get at.
If its the one under the car near the tank on the passenger side its easy.

Wear gloves and avoid lying directly under the filter or you WILL get a faceful of unleaded - I speak from experienceGeorge wrote:I believe this.capri_rob wrote: If its the one under the car near the tank on the passenger side its easy.
