Inside the petrol tank. It's not designed to be replaced as a service item.
Changing a lifetime fuel filter? (https://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/56517-chnaging-a-lifetime-fuel-filter/)

This is the same Ford Focus (which the S40 is based on)

This is only in uk version? Or in all version with this engine?

UK fuel is of sufficient quality to not need a fine filter element, a mesh on the pump intake is all that's required.

My car has been running 15 years without a 'filter' with no issues.

I understand some manufacturers fit additional filters for use in other countries though.

There is a simple reason for that.
Any part in a car can generate a fault.

If you use bad quality gas for a long time filter will be clogged up.

And I need to disagree with previous post - UK fuel isn't greatest.
