....but couldn't find them at the time (found 15 minutes after getting wheel back on! [smiley=rolleyes.gif])

Ain't that always the way.

Did mine in about ten mins with two small flat bladed screwdrivers pushing the clips back.

Make sure you look the other way and keep eyes tightly closed when pulling off the pipes, especially if there's pressure in the fuel system.

I'm talking from experience,  the first time I changed this filter I had both eyes full of petrol, it hurt.

And that's why it's always a good idea to pop the bonnet and de-pressurise the fuel system before carrying out any work on it.

Easy way to de-pressurise the fuel system - Take out the fuel pump fuse and run the engine until it cuts out (about 2-3 seconds).

I've never understood all the fuss about changing the fuel filter, it took me all of 5 minutes with a pair of flat ended screw drivers (and the wheel still in place! lol). It's only 2 clips people, not rocket science!!
