MSE...£60 ouch, that'll teach me. great illustration that, where do you source that from. looking from the chassis outwards, its the barb just below the number 1.
Looks reasonably easy to refit a one piece part, just fit the filter body to the chassis mount plate and push fit the four hoses back on, screw on the filter.
Question: why are there four pipes, does the filter check a flow and return or similar? Will the engine just re-start on turn over?

cheers al


Its a parts screen picutre i copied for you - you will need to reprime the system more than likely given the type of failure (you can usually get away with it when just changing the filter) Mike

part ordered and here tomorrow, MSE, whats the reprime routine/method, whats involved...i just don't know.

from the manual the LR method for running out of fuel, is refuel and then with foot on brake, crank over on regular intervals.

other issue: spoke to D44, the metal sleeve in the OME top bush was for packing out the through-bolt on the swivel mount, as stock it doesn't come with any inner sleeve, therefore two sockets and a vice, it came out a treat. now the shock with a little squeeze fits sweetly onto the original mount... Thumbs Up

one snag down, one to go, hopefully be mobile again... Very Happy

I would try that with the filter full of fuel

Technically there is a special tool - AndrewS made one and i noticed Unipart had one on the shelf.

Personally just firing it over with a good amount of fuel in the filter and leave it to sort itself out.

WHen you run out of fuel...you dont actually run out fully of fuel like you will (eg fuel pipes and filter empty etc) Mike
