I changed mine in my work car park at night, in the cold with a stonking hangover.  Took just over an hour to do.

It is easy to do, though I recomend better working conditions than the ones quoted above

^^^ as said. I did try depressurising mine by taking fuel lines off in engine bay and running untill it stopped. didnae make much difference tbh. just have a few rags handy as a wee bit of petrol does like to escape at the beginning.

 

edit load of pash: took off electrical feed to pump and ran till stopped, still spilled some though.

seems like an obvious thing but also helps not having a full tank

like i did when i had my one changed by someone who knew how too   []

thanks for the replies guys,

if i remember right, its rear seats out, disconect battery (?), then its the bolts / screws and fuel line clips, then the pump can be removed and the new one put in, then the reverse for all the other bits. hopefully thats it.

will let you all know, might take pics when i do it and try to post them.

hint - make sure to open the fuel flap and remove the fuel cap b4 you remove the fuel lines from the top of the tank.....limits spillage

hardest part of removing all the insides to get to the tank lid

1 hours start to finish!

FINALLY - IF YOU CAN .......USE THE ORIGINAL FILTER, NOT THE NEW ONE SUPPLIED WITH THE FTTING KIT!
