Thanks for the info. Good pics of how to do it on your other topic. As it's being seviced , I'll ask if they change the fuel filter as part of it (probably not I assume).

Mine looked like it had never been replaced, despite it being part of the service schedule.

I'll check to see if it is covered then as this isn't a cheap service and I don't want to be paying them even more for 'customer requested extras'!

If they are not going to replace it, it really is a dead simple task, you only need a screwdriver, pair of pliers and torx bit.

I just put the new one in and let it sort itself, there is nothing in the workshop manual either about manually filling it up.

Yep, reckon I'll get it done one way or the other then.

Well, I finally know what the problem is - Gearbox is completely shot - only 3 weeks outside the extended warranty.

Don't they operate the goodwill gesture system like Renault do , in that , as it's just out of warranty, they put a percentage towards the cost? Could be worth checking with another dealer. I crashed the gearbox in my other car and ended up dealing directly with ZF Uk who had the parts shipped from the U.S. That gearbox would have been @£8,500 to replace at a main dealer (if they could get one) but the parts cost me around £2,400 shipped and I got a mechanical engineer to strip and rebuilt the box for a fraction of what a main dealer would have charged (not that they would be able to do that task anyway, they would just replace it).

I've been told that if the car is under 6 years old you have some recourse via the Sale of Goods Act, whereby they should stump up most of the cash and you pay something towards it, even if its gone out of warranty.
