Fuel filter

[LFF64]

Evening all I decided to change the fuel filter today , picked up the filter remebered the clips unlike the parts man who did not charge me for them I found the filter on the car thought this looks easy enough. This is where it started to go wrong, The Boy suggested how to get the clips off so I tried for ages eventually managed to get the outlet side off. How awkward are they to do the inlet side wolud not release at all i managed to break the clip but it still would not release. Now the real problem the plastic angled  connector has snapped off where the plastic pipe joins on . On inspection the metal part of the filter has corrosion on it and was hold the plastic to it so no way it would have come off . Question is can I buy the connector on its own or is it complete with the pipe which I guess it is as it appears to be heat shrunk together. Also where does it go to is the other end under the access plate in the boot. I have managed to use a short bit of pipe to join the pipe to the filter for now but not happy to leave it like this too long

Not that clear on EPC, but looks like whole hose...

Thanks for that I take it, it will end up under the the plate in the boot floor on the pump  :-/
