Tibout Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hi guys I'm sure it's been debate before but can't find it. Just wondering if anyone have experienced with Bearmach fuel pressure regulator? Are they reliable? Or would I better off get a genuine one. taking into consideration the genuine one is about £60 more expensive!! Any thoughts welcome. thanks Thierry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Who makes the Genuine one ? Not Land Rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Quite probably Lucas..... Just get the bearmach one, be fine I am sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibout Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yeah could be Lucas. I know bearmach are quite reliable but down want to spend over 100quid then realise it's not good enough. Just wanted to know if anyone have fitted one and if there's any issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I used Bearmach parts for many years until they closed their local shop. Never had any problems with reliability or quality. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibout Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi Les thanks for input. I've used loads of bearmach parts as well have no issue with them. Was just wondering as the FPR on the td5 is quite "fussy" prone to leak after replacement if good quality parts are not use. I don't want to do the job twice and worst buy the parts twice. I think I might go with the bearmach which would be £60 cheaper. I'll bit the bullet and I'll keep you update if it's worth it or not! thierry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 There is a set of O-rings that you can buy for about £20 and redo the FPR yourself. Seems to be a mixed bag of results, and if it doesn't work then you will have to buy an FPR and pull it off again but maybe worth considering.

Tibout Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I did rebuilt the FPR when I did the head and since then the Landy takes a bit longer to start first thing in the morning. Will crank for about 10sec then fire up with a little tap on the accelerator. Seems like air is getting in somewhere and sound like its around the FRP area. I've replace everything else apart from the FPR itself. I guess it would make sense to replace the whole unit this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I had it in my head that Bosch made these, but that could be completely wrong! Having said that, just got an email from Britcar this morning to say that Bearmach have started to give a 3 year warranty to all of their parts effective from this January It might show up on their homepage http://www.brit-car.co.uk/ Better than the Britpart warranty and less likely to need it in the first place!

Tibout Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think it is Bosch not Lucas well I remember reading it somewhere I could be wrong. I've seen the warranty as well but there's so many retailer selling them so you could get lucky or not depending on how they would deal with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanT90 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Interestingly I got an email today from Britcar which says they are providing a 3 year warranty on all their Bearmach branded products ! To be honest if I buy aftermarket parts I make it a point to always buy Bearmach with exception of bearings/critical parts and brake pads. Usually very good quality and fraction of cost of OEM parts.

mmgemini Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Well Ian when the oil pump went AWL on my Defender in ZA. All we could get were Bearmach bits. including the crank bearings. I don't know how many miles they've done but were fitted Jan 1011 Edited January 31, 2017 by mmgemini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
