It has I think it's two straps around it, they're on with a nut each iirc.

Then one line on each side, fit new jubilee clips around them

Oh and make sure you fit the filter in the right direction.

It's under the car and it's easy, even Shady could do it..

Yeah it's under the car. In front of the rear offside wheel, underneath where the passenger behind the driver would sit.

Don't forget to pull the fuse for the fuel pump and run the car untill it stops, this will release the pressure in the fuel system.

Yup forgot to mention that too!

30 minutes max from start to finish for a beginner. It's an easy job.
