How to change fuel filter (diesel cars)

[Jj0063]

Thank you for the guide, it's the only one I could find on the entire internet (apart from a non-comprehensive workshop manual one).   My Astra J has been juddering pre-2000-revs and I'm 80% certain it's the fuel filter so I'll be attempting the filter change tomorrow.   2 questions, one quick that I'll easily find out for myself tomorrow and one stupid(!):

1)  Do you think I'll be able to do this without jacking the car up?  Only reason I ask is that I only have a basic jack and don't particularly want to be putting any part of my body under the car while it's up on it.

2)  What do I do with the leftover pint of diesel?!

Hope this helps, and to anyone reading this because they have the weird fluttery gurgle Turkey noise - yes this cures it.

YES!  I've been trying to find out what that noise is but found describing it impossible.  I know exactly what you mean and it's been driving me slowly mad.  Normally happens just after accelerating and letting my foot off the pedal in 2nd or 3rd gear, like something winding down.

Yes it's the filter but 7000 miles later mine is doing it again lol
