fuel filter is under car at drivers side, just near the pertol tank, and the oil filter is under the bonnet lol, should be a black plastic top with metal casing, with a 32mm nut on top i think but yeah that sounds cheap, would probs pay bwt £30 at a motor factors thats for decent oil and plugs

Oil filter is pretty easy. There's a big black cap on the end of a metal pipe, can kind of see it in this pic just down and to the right of the oil filler cap.
Obviously that's a B but can't see why it would be different.
Once the cap is off (which isn't that hard to undo if you have a big adjustable spanner) it's a case of pull out the old filter and put in the new one. Far easier than a normal style filter imo! Don't forget to replace the rubber seal that goes around the edge of the cap!

you'll need a f**king massive adjustable spanner for the oil filter  I had to go out and buy one specially to do my brothers the other day, other than that it's pretty easy.

maybe it is, a 300mm adjustable will do it though, £14.29 in homebase probably get them cheaper but I needed it quick

Warm engine
Drop oil
Replace filter once oil is drained
Replace sump plug
Refill with oil (4l?)
Ive only done my sparkplug on an RS125 but it was very easy with a long reach socket to undo and replace, just dont knacker the threads by screwing in at an angle 
Fuel filter on the old corsa's used to be a pain because of the clips that held it on I thought? when we tried to do it we couldnt actually get the bastard off, dunno whether its changed design now?
And air filter is just open box replace filter, replace lid
If anyone knows any different / a better way please let me know

I tried doing mine several times when the engine was warm but couldn't get the sump plus out  Came close to starting to round it off so tried it when it was cool and it came out straight away
