« on: 03 January 2010, 18:25:55 »
Does anyone know where I can buy a pair of fuel filter pliers to remove the clips from a Vauxhall fuel filter?

TIA :y

i think you mean those pliers that look similar to a plumbers wrench. if so screwfix do them at £9 a pair, product code 38864 . halfords or most tool stockists  will have them.  :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
