Got to work this morning to a strong smell of petrol, quick look under the car split my trousers and showed a steady drip from aroud the filter, from memory the Haynes Manual recons this is a tricky job and should go to the stealers, anyone changed their own filter/lines as it does not look difficult !!!!! Tips Please.

funny cos when i went to use my cab on Friday i had the same problem, changed the filter and 2 small pieces of rubber pipe, piece of cake apart from the dripping petrol when taking it apart.
