@Paul M. I just need something done to get on the road. My mechanic in Dublin can sort 100% when I get back

I'm only saying. Probably better word would be "sloppy/unacceptable" etc.

@Paul M. A bit slack?

@Paul M. Garage that took it in last night said they would sort it and replace and be back on the road today Called them this morning and it's like news to them. That's why I'm a bit stuck now

Then at least you can drive to another garage and see if they can fix it for you and say you are are emergency etc.

Replace it would be the best way but I'm not sure if the diesel will pour out once it's removed. Alternatively you can go to motor factors and see if they have any "patch" repair tape. If you can see the crack on the filter, try putting the tape on the crack etc. that might get you out and back on the road and then drive slower. Unfortunately there's not many men in Cork on this site that can help you today.
