There is a panel by the front right wheel.

But, I still coudl not get my oil filter off.

Even by turning the tyre in different ways I could not get a decent hold on the filter, and if I did get it off, I'm not 100% sure I oudl be able to get a new one on - there's just not enough space.

While on the subject.

The oil filter that's on there at the mement is black all over.
Is this just a dirty filter, or is there some sort of case over it ?

could be a black filter... mine are black....
if you can't get at it by turning the wheel... try taking the wheel off?

I find those grippy gloves, as worn by baggage handlers etc, absolutely brilliant for undoing the oil and diesel filters. They have rubber nodules on the palm and the fingers.
