I assume you mean the filter mounted beside the l/h bonnet hinge. When you get the new one you will have to take the electronic base out and fit it into the new filter. Don't over-tighten it as it is plastic and expensive. Undo the little screw bleed on the side at the top and pump until a good fuel flow comes out. Tighten the bleeder and away you go. The water drain at the base undoes anti-clockwise but don't forget you are looking at it upside down when looking down at it. Check for fuel leaks after driving. Stevo.
