Hi Heavygoodsman,

Did you prime the filter after you refitted the filter bowl to the car using the hand priming bulb located on the RH side of the engine bay? You need to squeeze this black bulb by hand a few dozen times to prime the filter bowl. once primed the bulb will become solid as it is full of diesel

It is normal to see a few air bubbles in the pipe straight after changine the filter. These will self-bleed out quickly.

Good Luck...!
