Cant see in my history when fuel filter was last changed - cars done 45'000 miles (yes its genuine) - so was thinking as Im servicing the car next week if its worth changing the fuel filter aswell - read the other thread and so will just grab a halfrauds one, but wondered if its worth it? If i do it now I suppose I know its done and prob wont need doing again for as long as I have the car...
what cha think?

They're only about a tenner so if you have the skills (I bought it then decided it would be unwise to try myself lol) then you might as well! :)

ive seen some of my old valvers with the dot of blue paint (i believe reno did this on pdi) on the original fuel filter with 100k on the clock :| Changed it what a difference just less boggy and definatley pulled harder up the top end, easy to do so might as well

Easy to do, you just need to get access to under the car and make sure you clamp off the hoses...oh, and fit it the right way!
