SPIKEY:
Hi Cogs.
My motor ran a bit erratically until I changed the fuel filter.
It is situated on the o/s/r chassis rail, and I changed it without taking the wheel off.
As I work in a car salvage / spares yard where petrol out of scrappers is plentiful, I used to put 10 odd gallons a week into the car.
After tipping brown sludge out of the filter when I changed it, and the misfire being sorted, I only fill up at petrol stations now.
Hope this is some help.
Cheers,
SPIKEY.

Thanks Spikey, do I just swap old for new?, have heard about letting off fuel pressure or am I being over cautious.
Funny one, I got the "Workshop manuel" on CD & was checking handbrake adjustment but the pages on screen are to small to read so I went to print the page off. A few pages later I checked the "Print Setup" & found it was printing the whole manuel, 160+ pages, stopped sharpish!!!--Tony PS-How much is a filter, any idea?

Depressurising is easy, run the engine and pull the fuel pump fuse out, when the engine's stopped it's safe to swap the filter. No joke it says this in the manual!
The Haynes manual is better than useless for an EFi, it has a useful set of basic checks for all the sensors on both flapper and hot-wire systems that are probably the scope of most mechanics with some knowledge of electronics.
Merlin:
Thanks, I just used my brake flexy-pipe clamps on either side of the filter & swopped them over. It seems to have worked OK.
Have yet to try it on the roads to see if the mis-fire has gone. The petrol in the old filter looked clead, not so good eh!!
