Bit of an update for anyone interested. Had the RAC out with the simple goal of getting towed to the specialist garage I use. They guy that arrived was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and wanted to check a few things so I was happy to let him.
We ended up checking the timing, the compression, the coils and plugs, the pump functionality and he read through fault codes and all that is left is the filter assembly which I know has been suggested by you fine people and is what I was thinking it was too.
When he went to take a look after i had told him I'd already had it out and I wouldn't hold him responsible for any damage the actual filter housing came apart in his hands so I suspect now that I've had it out the bayonette is free and loose.
I've now ordered the white clip that is now available along with a new oring as suggested so I'm hoping that will solve it. If it isn't that then I am truly out of options for what I'm prepared to do in the current tempritures and weather, fingers crossed.
