Default CDTi wrong fuel filter

I have taken delivery of a set of filters, to do a service and the fuel filter, despite fitting the top plastic head part, it was too tall, due to being fitted with a drain valve at its base. Because of the height supported on its base bracket, it was too high to connect the two fuel pipes or the electrical connector. Something to watch out for..



Guess it was intended as a BMW version of the fuel filter. I will contact the seller..

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
