Fuel Filter change. Access through wheel arch

I've grappled a couple of times with the fuel filter and posted about the difficulty of this before.
It was only when watching an RAC guy fiddle with it yesterday that I discovered you access it through a rubber hatch under the wheel arch!Again if its just me that found this out fare enough but I can’t be the only one so I thought I'd share.

Cheers geezer, wasn't looking forward to it tbh   

Never to old to learn. I use to take the housing and filter off together, saves spilling any fuel on the drive, wroth of the wife avoided!

Would love some instruction on how to do this.. Is it the passenger side wheel?
Can anyone give me a set by step.. I want to attempt this today.

I jacked the near side up to get the wheel to drop, lift flap disconnect the water sensor wire, unscrew the filter. Once out unscrew water trap from the bottom of the filter fit to new filter using new o ring and replace filter hand tight, pump the fuel primer to check it is airtight, if hard after 10 pumps all is well if not tighten the filter some more and repeat. Reconnect sensor wire, drop car back down and start up.
Can be done from underneath but required engine shields to be removed.

Mine was right there, No need to jack or anything, access was easy from the top. I just needed it pointed out lol
