Can anyone advise as to the where abouts of the fuel filter and as to the procedure for changing both the filter and pump.

Cheers

The filter and the pump are under the passengers side rear wheel arch. Take the wheel off, the pump is behind the bottom suspension arm, the filter is higher up in the arch. They both have rubber pipes on, with clips and a clamp to hold them in place.
I don't know if the pump is the same as anything else but the filter is listed in the equivalent parts list.

I've not changed mine yet but I would say unclip the pipes, I think there just jubilee clips or there could be a banjo bolt at each end of the filter. Be careful as there could be some fuel pressure in the system, so undo them slightly, let the fuel leak out, when it has stopped take the pipes off.
The pump and filter have a clamp around them holding them to thier mounts, undo these and they will be out.
Other than siezed nuts and bolts it should be simple, Just watch the fuel for squirting in you're face when undoing the pipes.
