GL88 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The fuel pressure regulator needs replacing on my early TD5 (unless anyone has had success repairing one). Les Henson has a Tech Archive 'how to' which I anticipate getting oily fingerprints on - http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=25537 . There seems to be a choice available between £75 and £100 (inc VAT) so my question is whether to get a Genuine Parts one or not - given that price seems broadly similar my preference is for one that won't start leaking in about a year from now. Has anyone fitted one which has started leaking after a while? If so who made/supplied it and how long did it last? And has anyone fitted a replacement that is still going strong after many miles and if so...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Someone posted on here how to replace the diaphragm (which is where the problem is). Can't remember who, but the diaphragm on it's own would be a lot cheaper. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 You can't get just that bit any more, Bearmach used to supply it but it is no longer available for some reason and it is back to buying the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GL88 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Puncture repair kit then, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilslandy Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 usually its the O rings that start leaking...i tried to replace the O rings but....mission failed...after i put everything back and started engine it was like an open tap of fuel running under my 90. and as Bogmonster said i had to buy the whole thing...i think the fault from landrover is that the casing of that pressure regulator is made from aluminium and its a bit soft as a material to resist that pressure of fuel inside there and so the casing "erodes" sort of and starts leaking from the o rings. sorry my english hope i'm understood...not from england gilslandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
