Hi
The filter is on top of the o/s of the rear subframe, just in front of the rear wheel, you will need to jack the back of the car and look carefully.

If the misfire happened after fitting plugs I would suspect something either with the plugs or coils or leads.

I agree. A fuel filter is hardly ever to blame for a fault like this. Plugs, coil pack, leads. likely candidates. After all you changed the plugs (how were they BTW?). Remember, if it ain't bust don't fix it.... and: if you go looking for trouble, you will find it: or it will find you
