I take it yours is a 2.2 ltr diesel and not the petrol engine. You will need to romove the engine under shield, as you look underneath the car it will become apparent. There are bolts with "I think 17mm heads" After removing this sheild you will see the sump plug which is just a simple bolt and a copper washer, be sure to replace the copper washer when repacing the sump plug.

Be careful with the sump plug. The hex bolt head is oversized for the thread diameter so you may have a big spanner/socket on it but do not lean on it excessively 'cos its only a small bolt really, going into a threaded fitting in a pressed steel pan.

Sambuca have a look at all my posts, I have gone in to great detail on how to successfully repace the diesel filter. BUT REMEMBER EVERY THING MUST BE SPOTLESS WHEN DOING THIS.
