    I have spent the best part of two hours attempting to follow this instruction:

    Using a screwdriver inserted from the right-hand side, depress the retaining clip and lift the filter housing from the crash box.
    (CDTi fuel filter change being attempted, Haynes providing the instructions.)

    I can't find/see the %^$#*^@$ clip which makes this almost impossible. They could mean 'right hand side' as it's looked at, or the more traditional RHS when talking about cars (from the driver's seat POV). Tried both. Got underneath, climbed on top, looked from both sides, can't see anything. Right up against the firewall, so too tight to get in and feel anything. Tried using a piece of card to slide around, up and down to find any clips, but the shape of the filter housing is too irregular to get anything useful.

    Anyone done this before and got any tips, or even better, diagrams/pics? I'm going to go do the oil and coolant changes, and give the battery a clean up before trying again. I'll check back here in a little bit to see if anyone has an answer, otherwise I'll reconnect the fuel lines and assorted cables and give it up. If I can't find any decent instructions on how to do this ^&%$#% clip I might have to take it to a mech and let him swear at it for a while.

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
