Are the fuel filters in the V6 like the 4 pot K's or are they a cartridge filter in a plastic housing? If it's like the K4's are you sure it's definitely the filter and just not the bottom bolt? I've had to fix a fair few bottom union bolts on the fuel filters in Rovers and MGs of late. I guess from over tightening

Bottom bolt?

Not sure till I get to it and have a look. I think its similar to the K4 and its possible it could be the quick release as well (in which case I will steal the one off the green car)

Seems a good result that, not too much to sort.

You could always jack up the car from the front jacking point if your jack doesn't fit under the sill.

That's not a bad fail all things considered Sam. I ended up buying a low level jack from machine mart, my old trusty one gave up with no spares available. You could use the OE jack first then slide the other one in after.
