fuel filter

[billycan]

just sent for a filter kit from milners for a 2004 terrano tdi 2.7 and the fuel filter they sent me doesnt have a drain plug at the bottom,they say it is ok to fit this filter but the filter thats already on the car has a drain plug on.can anyone verify which is the correct filter for this year of car!many thanks to any replies.....bill

Both will work
BUT
if you get water in the filter its a lot harder to drain.
Without you have to take it all off.

Loads better with the drain

also water in fuel filter "light" wont work in dash

From their website it looks like they've got one with a drain hole for cars up to 2001 and one without for cars after 2001. Which makes no sense at all. :nenau

I've got farmer filters on mine they're only a few pence in thr tractorr shorp
They've a glass bowl at the bottom too so you can see if there's any water in there, which there wont be :lol
