Ever tried doing this on a estate?  What a bar steward. >:(  Looks dead easy to reach on a saloon, The estate one is up between the diff and fuel tank.  Pig of a job.

When I bought the filter, I asked for the clips at the same time.

What's all this about pulling fuse 18 then?

A facefull of pressurised petrol is a much better experience - ask Laidback ;D ;D

Forgot to say;
Leave the ignition on for a few secs before cranking after replacing the fuse to let the pump work & re-pressurise.....

Now he tells me :-?

I did just that, actually, as I thought it would re-pressurise itself, started first time, might be in the mind but it seemed to run smoother :y

Although sometimes you may be able to reuse the old clips, they often break, so get spare clips before starting... ;)
