ok guys, am wondering if the ba sedan fuel filter is in the same spot as an au sedan, tucked up in front of the boot under the car? from memory it was a pain in the bum to change, but i think my ba needs doing... is there only one type of filter i can buy, or is there different ones for abs, irs , xr8, xr6 and all that stuff?

On the passenger side roughly underneath the back seat, just follow the fuel lines from the tank you'll find it. It's easy to change, only hard bit is if its done up fairly tight. Only one filter for BAs as well. Just unplug the fuel pump or remove the fuel pump fuse then run the car till it stalls to remove most of the petrol from the lines.

cheers mate thanks for the tips
