Nowt major then, mines leaking from around their but (although fixed temporarily) is much worse 

How do you rate the cda against a standard cone filter?

No, the whole housing as started to perish and snap. There are bits next to it in the last picture (Not very clear) where it has come off.

Damn it... I missed the auto jumble 



Is that a plastic housing then? 

Pain in the ass but at least you got to the bottom of it, nothing nicer than finding the fault and knowing you can fix it easily.   Well there is but that just felt like a good thing to say.

Yeah all the housing where it connects to block has become fragile and perished, also the gasket is ruined too. Hopefully it will be replaced Tuesday
