How to Replace the Diesel Filter on a Mini Countryman?

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Diesel fuel filter

To replace the diesel filter on a Mini Countryman, access the underside of the vehicle, near the engine bay: there will be a plastic cover protecting the lower part of the engine, which must be removed by unscrewing the screws. Once this is removed, you can access the fuel filter, which needs to be freed from its mounting screws; then disconnect the cables connected to the filter, allowing it to be completely removed and replaced with a new one. After the replacement, refit the corresponding plastic cover.
