Hi On the side of the engine block,

under the engine cover to the right hand side of the engine you will see a circular item with several small bore rubber pipes connected to it.
The fuel filter in underneath this item.

There is a bolt in the centre that attaches to the fuel filter and if you are careful you can release it and move the circular piece out of the way without disconnecting the hoses far enough to extract the fuel filter. The manual suggests to disconnect the hoses but the clips sometimes need replacing then.

lower down the body of the filter you will see a retaining band which is tensioned by a screw on the side which you need to slacken.

Takes about ten minutes to change and the first time about 30 mins of head scratching
