Got there in the end though...

Yep it is a cow of a job (not a day and a half but a cow of a job none the less). Be VERY VERY careful to check that it is now sealed properly as a few cars have gone up in smoke from leaks after a filter change.

Yep, took a day to get the thing apart - including going to Halfrauds for a replacement fuel hose after I gave up and cut the bloody thing. It then took five minutes to fit the new filter and hose and another half a day to stop it from leakign fuel all over my drive.

Still, I know how to do it for next time, and I know the bolts won't be seized solid with 15 years of corrosion anymore!
