Ray, cheers for all your help mate. Basically i done it again today and noticed i'd put the hoses on the filter in the wrong order, School boy error i know but hey ho you live and learn.. Yeah the oil filter was very loose when i took it off, also when i put my new one on, and started the car oil was pouring out the filter and had to do it up really hand tight. I'll keep checking every month or so that it dont come loose but i do often check my oil so should be fine. Cheers again for your help.. One more thing but im not worried about, Is when the cars stopped water leaks from underneath. Its not coolant or washers so gotta be aircon. Do you know if this is normal?? Cheers Mate..
