So, to get here, I have removed my back seat (it pulls up easily, as its just clipped on at the front). I have removed the 10mm screws from the cover, and I have removed the electrical harness, the fuel line (blue pipe - make sure you depressurise the line by unscrewing the fuel cap, and have a bowl handy to catch any excess fuel - there won't be a lot) and the vent hose - push the clips together and pull, may need so assistance with a flat head screw drive to prize free.
The next step is to
release screw cap with special tool 16 1 020 and remove service cap, but I used a rubber mallet and a screw driver to coax it free

The next step is to pull the chamber with the pump in out of the tank. The two lugs at the bottom of this picture need to be pressed in and the chamber will lift out with a bit of effort.

Now reassemble the new pump and the new strainer etc and follow the instructions in reverse
The whole job took me (utter novice) about an hour.
The car runs much better, but I'm still getting P0171 & 174! Ive replaced MAF sensor, lower intake boot, CCV hoses and now fuel pump
Where should I look next? Its driving me mad!
