  1. In answer to JamesR's question - you don't have to take off the alternator - or the fan. Just changed the pipe on my Disco 2 - started leaking after an alternator change - clearly just moving the pipe end a little caused the old metal/rubber pipe union to fail - diesel sprayed everywhere! Made a tool as described by Screwdriver - 12 point 14mm ring spanner with slot cut into the side to pass over the pipe. Found it best with the spanner end bent at just over 90° and slightly turned to the right (with the cut ring end bent upwards). Found it better with other end of spanner cut off otherwise too long. Closed up the open end on the remaining stub piece of the spanner. Slid it over the shaft of the main spanner to get leverage and to help turn it. Once spanner adaption work was one - did the job under the bonnet in under 30 mins - just removed the engine sound proofing cover and the fan cover. Straightforward. Picked up the pipe on ebay - thankfully now available to buy separately from the pressure regulator
