hi its a really easy job the filter is located on the right below the fuel pump
it may be able to unscrew by hand if not a chain type wrench may be able to get at it mine is only hand tight but its tight .
unscrew and carefully empty fuel into a vessel then empty fuel from vessel into new filter and try not to spill to much when putting new filter on car keeping plenty of fuel in filter will mean car should start without to much lumpy on startup as fuel is pushed into fuel pump mine goes ok every time
good place to get one bosch is CAR PARTS 4 U
let us know how you get on

When changed, if you cycle the ignition on and off three times or until the air in the system is purged the car should start and run normally. That's how I do it.
I wouldn't personally reuse the fuel in the chamber just in case dirt got in there.

hi
sorry about that i just pour most of it into a vessel and don't get the DREGS at the bottom of filter with so much fuel going through this small container i was thinking it should be ok to use most of it .
plenty more advice on this car here

+1 on not filling the new filter with the diesel out of the old one. I tend to take the opportunity to use a good injector cleaner and fill the new filter with that. I idle the car then for a minute, switch off for 10 mins or so to allow the cleaner to work then take it for a good blast to clean the crud out. Always worked very well for me.
