Been to dealers today and I don't think I could of been clearer.. I informed the guy in parts it was the pipe that comes out of the front of the filter housing and down to the fuel injection pump.. Yet he gives me the feed into the filter housing.. Losing the will right now..

If you had given him the part number you first quoted and your car is after Vin WA409249 roughly around 98 on, it would have been the right one. Before that Vin STC2296.

I am v. new to this and an enthusiastic but duffer DIYer.
Short point : 2.5 diesel filled with petrol ( £70 Squids worth) : after much struggling with pumps finally realised that the easy way to empty the tank is to disconnect fuel line from tank ( push fit) , connect hose to same and turn on ignition ( fires out a couple of pints per turn).
When I was then about to replace fuel filter ,the fuel line connector (plastic)to filter housing disintegrated in my hand ( see pic) : efforts to extract remainder from filter housing caused further disintegration :eventually managed to extract on straight pull with mole grips from a v. short tag end that was left in the filter housing. Had to replace complete fuel line.

The completed job coincidentally seems to have fixed a cutout/hesitation problem which previously occurred at high revs : is it possible that there was a crack or defect in the plastic connector ?
I just pass this on for what it's worth.

Is it not possible to just buy the elbow?

If so, does anyone know what this part number might be?
