Does anyone know where I can buy a pair of fuel filter pliers to remove the clips from a Vauxhall fuel filter?

TIA :y

Pete was doing the 'cam belt' plus other things on my Omega on Sunday, all was going really well until 'replacing the fuel filter', it was -2C and the plastic connector was very brittle and snapped.
Well done for sorting it all Pete.
Your attention to detail and quality of work was impressive, recommend to all, many thanks.  :y

i always keep spare set of clips - they do frequently break when being changed
