    allow me to rephrase....

    so long as you change the filter regularly then not having the sensor there will not be a problem as the sensor is only there (as pointed out) as a water level indicator, changing the filter removes what little water you might have gathered....

    Filters are too expensive to replace prematurely. I'd just remove the plug from time to time to drain any water that might be there.

    ah very good, i had a good look at it today and found out it is the sensor that its leaking from. The thread on the filter is fine so at this stage i have ordered another sensor. I thought if i get rid of the sensor i may well have a constant light on on my dash so i will give a new one a crack.

    Can I ask what a new one costs? There is another guy on the forum who has his broken off.
