Behind the battery in the square black plastic box secured with 2 screws at the top. It then slides up so you need to remove the rubber strip on the bulkhead panel that goes across the engine compartment. Undo and remove the 3 plastic nuts from the housing just below the wipers on the passenger side. Use a screwdriver and lift up this housing and remove it. Now undo the 2 x 10mm bolts that hold the black steel removable plate immediately above the air filter housing.
And please and thank you wouldn't go amiss.....
