you will need to chisel the remaining part of the filter round carefully. as for the electric bit it might be a case of just buying a replacement part.

You may laugh now, but 'tis easily done.
Shame about the electrical bit - try 'midnight spares' I'm told they always have what you need - lol

Thanks guys...all sorted now, used a pair of pointed pliers and a crow bar....got it off.
The thing i snapped off was apparently the oil pressure sensor?? £50
