yeap.
allow more time than you think you need (espcially if your wife is expecting to go out that night... :-( )
cable tie the clutch pedal out of the way
don't rely on the instructions / diagram in the manual, the pictures are rubbish
dont waste time taking off the heater element end plate (plastic cowling), you dont need to
disconnect the wiring (blue, yellow and black plugs to the left of the clutch pedal, and take out the black plastic end piece where the black cable connector went to (two torx screws) - pull out the whole long gold plate sensor - it's surprisingly long - and when its out you can then remove the clear /pale yellow cover.
get a medium length T20 screw driver, socket / drill adaptor things arn't long enough for at least one of the T20 screws
lots of PATIENCE
and try not to bang your head on the lethal metal piece near the door - i have 5 cuts on the top of my head now!
and clean out the chamber before trying to remove the old filter, brush and vacum, you don't want any debris contaminating the heather matrix thing inside.
finally, to put the new filter in you'll have to bend it nearly in half, into a Z shape - i was reluctant as I thought it would break, but, its the only way to get the f**king thing into that stupidily small hole.
good luck!
