The old filter had become very very rusty and am guessing it was just wear and tear due to the age of the filter, changed it over and has been running fine since touch wood!! :-)
so i think im ready to change the filter over...on your thread i read that the fuel will keep leaking out unless i bung up the pipe..but what do i use to do this and if i havent got a bung will it constantly keep leaking out until i fit the new one??
Sorry im such a novice when it comes to cars...
I figured it out it was a clip where one part pushes over the over and then fixes together that way (if that makes any sense) and was released with a screwdriver
And the fuel is leaking from the point where the inlet pipe connects to the filter, some pics are here
