D4 MY12 fuel filter

My only gripe with the standard filter is that if there is a need to drain the bowl, its not just a roadside 5 minute task. I had a persistant water in fuel warning on a rainy night well away from civilisation. I deduced that the sensor circuit was likely to be faulty due to having driven many kms since refuelling so resumed driving. A duplicate detection system with a readily emptied bowl would have confirmed my suspicions but all I could do was to hope my reasoning was correct.

I would fit a less expensive version of Water Watch if one was available, or possibly even a duplicate of the original wired in parallel.

I have new D4 late last year I am looking as well where second fuel filter, or water separator would fit. From my past experience with fuel I will not take my new car to outback without it.

Does anyone know how many microns the LR fuel filter is rated at?

And is replaced as part of standard servicing by LR dealerships, or is it left alone until the owner reports that a warning light comes on?
