Get 2 flat bladed screwdrivers and pry off one end at a time, fiddly but do-able :y

I managed to change the filter on my first Omega years ago without special tools but I can't shift the filter on this one.

I have just ordered a set of Draper pliers http://www.drapertools.com/b2c/b2citmdsp.pgm?pp_skmno=40106&ipadd=.

Have you paperclipped it for fault codes?

Obviously no harm in banging a new fuel filter on there, but I wouldn't have thought this is your problem.

when you change the filter change the O-ring in the cap same time, befor putting it on. can get old one's out with a bent tip screw driver or a wire hook. :y
