look in the first pic where the fuel filter is,its nowhere near the alternator and the oil filter is right on the front of the engine to the right

It's hard to say with all that pipe work all over it. The CRD looks a lot tidier than that lol. What model was the car? The turbo and fuel filter are in the same place. The leak in to the alternator is from the fuel pipe connection below the oil filter cap and nothing to do with the filter. Stef's car had the filter leak after they serviced it (I think thats what your thinking of)

I'm not sure of the model cos they all look the same but its a 3.0 V6 oil burner,the pipe work does look crap but I took the nice transformer-looking cover off to take the pics.The pipes comingfrom and to the fuel filter disappear to the right underneath other stuff but my mate says that they change the pipe clips every service.This motor has 2 air filters with a sensor that tells you when it needs changing and you can only clear the sensor with a diagnostics tool,bloody technology ay,lol.
Can someone take a pic of their CRuD engine with the cover off so I can compare,ta very much

looks nothing like it

It will be the same engine but I'm sure the CRD has a lot less pipework and crap over it and we only have one air filter. I'll try and get some pics posted on here later.

I just googled a pic of the CRuD engine and it does look similar except for the pipework
