probably a stupid question but how do you change it...
got a filter, thought i may aswell change it then its official the cars had a full service in just over a month but, what do you do...?
just jacked the car up and its started pissing it down again, had a look at it and the filter ive got seems about 5mm longer than the one thats on, it was advertised for my car so  should fit.
thing is im wondering though is do i have to clamp the pipe going in so i dont lose any fuel or will it not come out as the pumps not operating due to engine being off??
cheers

nah dont clamp it, a little bit of fuel will probably come out but just have a rag over the end to soak it up, the clips just clip in, you need a special tool to unclip the pipe clips but i managed it without

changed it this morning, easy peasy, and can actually feel the difference
does a old clogged up one decrease bhp by any chance?
