I take it you can't see any obvious screw/clips holding the filter cover closed?
Vauxhall have a habit of using secure clips to prevent things failing!
Go into Halford and look at replacement sparkplugs, size up a socket to remove plugs!
(I wrecked 2 T Bar wrenches in trying to remove plugs from a Meriva)

I need to remove the Air Filter not the plugs.

I know, unless you have already changed the plugs, the two jobs go hand in hand.

Do Haynes still put out car manuals? I have the 3 for the cars I have owned and found them priceless.

Yep, plenty out there. Club hammer?:D

They do not do one for the Agila and they do not have plans on producing one.

It says bit is Haynes but when I contacted Haynes a few days ago they said they have no intention of making a manual so I think it is a scam

If not available why not pop down to your local garage and have a chat with a mechanic?
Or roll your sleeves up and have a delve.

This video might give a clue, it's for the Corsa but will be fairly similar I would have thought

Thanks but the Aglia is completely different arrangement as the Agila filter is on the top of the engine, I can see a clip but unclipping that it dose not release the filter box so some where there must be a hidden clip of fastening some where.

Is there a bolthead visible... my Skoda's airfilter is held on by clips all around PLUS a pair of bolts?
