As above.  ;) It's under the nearside of the scuttle, small access hatch to get to it.
Facelift cars use a carbon filter - it' supposed to look black & dusty  ;)
Prefacelift use a plain white filter.

Roughly speaking.
Open bonnet, look to passnger side wiper scuttle. Pull up rubber seal, bend back plastic bit. reach in undo  2 plastic clips and pull up old filter.

Replacement is roughly the same only backwards

HTH

The arrows indicate the direction of air flow through it ie pointing to the inside of the car.  :y

I bend the filter in the middle, rather than touch the clips - after 9-17yrs, they can be brittle!
