I assume you have the CDA kit the same as mine, good innit! :amuse:
You don't replace the filter, you wash it. BMC sell a filter washing kit here's a couple of places that stock it,

Have a good google & you may find some where near to you

Here's a FAQ on BMC's site thats helps too,

How many miles have you done with your filter?

If your filter's not working efficiently then I would think the engine would be down on power which could mean you spend more time with your foot planted to the floor. So yes your fuel economy should improve when you clean the filter.
When was the car last serviced?

serviced about 2000 miles ago ill let you know how it goes

Any improvement on fuel mate?

erm ill be honest havnt noticed it tho i think the revs pick up a little quicker, but that could be me just wanting to see some improvement. when i did clean it i was felt sorry for what my car had been breathing in it was rank im going to clean again this week as it hadnt been done for such a long time i think it needs it doing atleast 2 times.
