question about spring mount and connector

Dear all,

I removed the rear tub from my 130 td5 to weld a part from the chassis, I also want to remove rost and give it a new paint (Owatrol / Ovagrundol and a chassis paint with Owatrol).
Two questions, could be easy to answer for most of you:

What is that cable / connector for near the diesel filter? There was nothing connected. And how can I remove the diesel pipes from the filter (without destroying it:-) ?

Should the spring mount look like this? The metal plate with the four squares seems to be uneven mounted.

thx @dorsetsmith

So for removing the pipe I just have to press both pins at the same time, dont have that nice tool.

The water sensor is standard or optional on the td5? There is a filter from "Mahle" mounted, are there filters available with and without the sensor?
I found a kind of cap / valve at the bottom on the filter, seems to be its for draining the water...?

btw, if I remove the filter / the pipes , do I have to (how?) release the preassure from the diesel pipes? (could be also done by the cap / valve on the filter)
