Here you go!
Here is a how to guide for all those looking to change the oil filter housing, first you will have to jack up the car and remove the engine undertray
Picture gives you an idea of where the bolts are ( Require a T30 torex)

I don't have any deatils on how to remove your air filter as I have a DS induction kit fitted, so you will have to remove either the airbox if fitted.
Next you have to disconnect the wire connection and pipe on the left hand side(this pipe will be plastic and is easy to damage so be careful)

Now the bolt holding the dip stick tube, this allows it to be pushed to the side out of the way

There are now 4 bolts holding the housing to the car, 1 on the top (beside the red water hose in the picture) and 3 on the bottom (you will have to go under the car to get to these ones). You will need a 10mm socket and short extension to remove them.

Now all that is left is to carefully push the housing down to release the other pipe

The filter housing can now be removed.
In true Haynes manual style fitting is reverse of the removal instructions.
