You’re paying for the fancy retro paint job, not the filter itself.Dont buy that, its double the correct price! Due to fuel bug and other problems, I have bought several lately, and all have been in the £3.00 range!
You certainly are. I bet it isn't as good as the original one that came off.You’re paying for the fancy retro paint job, not the filter itself.

That filter could be as old as me .............
That's the difference between me, a self confessed saddo, and most people. Yet someone will be along soon accusing me yet again of googling for this stuff. Well yes, I googled for the pictures, but you've got to know what to google for in the first place, and that means having substantially more than a clue.Never studied the inside of those filters to that level to be honest.
If you look at the original filter I removed there are no holes in the top surface.
Maybe the holes were a later edition which make the original really old.

Maybe but £9.50 is not bad for the next forty years service.You’re paying for the fancy retro paint job, not the filter itself.
As I got quite enthusiastic about my oil filters but haven't yet plumbed the murky depths of fuel filter territory, do I then take it from the above conversation that this:

would be the better quality replacement for a 35?
