Order the clips, but also check that they are not already included in the filter box when you collect.  Last two I bought had the clips in there already....

Will do  :y

..... I have never changed mine in 4 years of ownership  :o

Phew! I'm not on my own then!  :-[

I'll report back if it made any change, at less than a tenner its worth a pop, tad over due too  ;D

No matter what improvements are made, as I have a garage full of sh1te, I'll either have to either buy a snorkel & flippers to work outside on my drive or wait for the weather to improve - a lot! It's not stopped raining here since Christmas Day.

As others have said, buy the clips as well, as they go brittle. Hopefully, you won't notice any difference with the new filter - if you do, it shows you have not been maintaining properly.  Also, change the air filter, as I bet that is over a year old now (I remember doing it!)

Decided to take the waste oil down the tip, never knew i built up so much, I had 11 x 5L bottles & a 30L drum! all full of old oil!

Thats 85L of waste oil  :o :o

Or around 17 oil changes  :-/

Can't remember last time i did it, must have had some other peoples oil in there too  :-/

I'm surprised the guy never tried to charge you money for dumping commercial waste :D
