Orange clips - or at least the need for one.
This is a general thanks to the forum to those who contributed to the diagnosis of this problem. After 25K of trouble free motoring (in the last 12 months) the V6 did not fire on the 3rd turn of the starter as usual....Dang!
Look in forum...read some posts...find filter.... top has rotated about 20 degrees...correct alignment...starts first time..thanks again.

Hi, All I'm a 1st time poster, although on my 5th rover ( 1 sd1, 2 800's, & 2nd 75.) I'm currently running a 2.5 v6 tourer conny. Last weekend she failed to start, & i just knew that it was the fuel filter seperation, having read all the info on this amazing site..Because i work weird shift patterns, i couldn't fix it until this weekend.. So one week of using the bus (collected a sore throat, flu, & many new swear words as a result!!).I then purchased the fabled orange clip, & set to work. I must thank MIKEMc75 for his photo's, giving a step by step account of the procedure... The info on this site is just BRILL !!. I feel that had i gone to a garage, they would have stung me for allsorts, New fuel pump, new fuel tank, new engine(?). new wife?.. So MikeMc75, Many thanks for your time & effort... Needless to say, the conny is now in top form, & ready to pull the caravan!. hoorah!
