Steve. Left hand side of the engine bay, at the back, you will see the hand priming button on top of the filter casing. The filter assembly unscrews from the housing, after you have disconnected the electrical connection, at the base, which signals that there is water in the trap. It is sometimes a bit easier to get at the filter body from under the vehicle, ie, somewhere behind the nearside front wheel
