If the tube is not secured with a jubilee clip you will need to buy one before you start - probably the smallest available costing pence not pounds, to replace the clip you will have removed to disconnect the pipe.
Good luck with it and I hope it works for you as it has for us.
If I can I'll put a pic up showing the filter on the wife's S80 in the next day or so.

Mike located everything. Off to buy some STP and tomorrow will get to work.... hopefully for an hour at most. If it works, looks like I could save £300 a month. Thanks for spending the time to write me an idiots guide.
