I'm going to pretend I didn't read this is being scrapped
Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
On my 2008 2.2 TDCi the fuel filter is at the front o/s and as you say is a plastic container thingy.
I always fill the new filter with diesel before fitting and then it will start and self bleed.
The pipe doesn't come with the black plastic fitting shown on the ebay listing
Hi Dave
Where does that fitment on the end of the pipe go or does that come off, is there a push on clip on the in tank pipe or is i tjubillee clips or those spring clips?
Had a look on the parts diagram and it doesn't show any type of clips I can see.

both ends of the pipe have about 30mm of strait (NOT Convoluted) pipe ,1 x 9mm ID ,1 x 8mm ID
the rest of the pipe is convoluted /corrugated ,making it very flexible .
you need to gently heat (boiling water is OK, NOT a naked flame ) the pipe to get it to slide on the pump and outlet .
standard fuel line clips to secure in place
this pipe is a great "off the shelf solution "
The reason for the "Protec Fuel Systems Convoluted In Tank Fuel Hose - 8/9mm Ends / 280mm Long" in my link is because the original in tank hose is shaped with tight curves ,which is difficult to achieve with off the shelf hose in such a tight space
You need to spin the pulley by hand BEFORE you start it.
It did sound like something pinging against the water pump pulley.
Of course, nothing to say that it isn't coming from inside the waterpump.
Belt off and check it for any play or roughness, ideally from ice cold rather than just running.
Is it a sticking valve lifter not uncommon if the car has been left un-started
I have one, but depending on how soon you need it, I am away until the 8th December. If you don't get fixed up before then, give me a shout
