robbie1717 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in the Earlier Td5 Fuel Filter Housing (WJN000020) and the Later (WJN500150) one? I am guessing from the To & From VIN Codes where the Part No Changes, one is for the EU2 Engine and the Later is for the EU3...... ....but why would that make the later one double the price (£260.00+) Cheers Robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 one is a Defender Td5 item other is a Discovery Td5 item WJN500150 FUEL FILTER + HOUSING TD5 DISCII (G) http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php?xProd=134968 WJN000020 FUEL FILTER COMPLETE TD5 DEF (G) http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php?xProd=99400&xSec=5498 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie1717 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi, Thanks for the reply. i'm not saying your wrong, but my MicroCat lists (WJN500080) as the part for my '06 Defender Td5. This Number is S/S by (WJN500150). This is whats shown on http://www.shukersparts.co.uk/defender-all/land-rover-defender/replacement-parts/fuel-emission-system/fuel-filter-head-unit-td5-wjn500150.html as well as the link http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php?xProd=134968 you posted. What i really want to know though is - is there any difference in the two Parts, i.e. can i buy the much cheaper WJN000020 and use it in place of my WJN500150? Has anyone else done this? Also has anyone else had their Filter Housing just crumble when unbolting it from the Chassis? The face where the Fliter Screws onto it is fine, its just where the bolts go through it and into the Chassis thats turned into mush....

western Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I don't know if there is any physical difference, part numbers are different because they are used in 2 model ranges, the Shukers link is just generic parts book diagram, would be better to see both items side by side to check on any differences.

robbie1717 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 sounds a good idea, even on on Microcat Prog it just shows the same diagram/picture for both part numbers....... has anyone replaced a Later Model Filter Head with an earlier one successfully?

robbie1717 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Gave the Filter Head a good clean last night, found it to have LR Part No "ESR4723" stamped on it, as well as "UFI" (a brand perhaps?) Can anyone with a Earlier Td5 Defender check if their Filter head has this Stamped on it? I am guessing the "Fuel Filter Housing (WJN000020)" is for the Whole Assembly - including connectors and Fuel Filter, the actual Head Part Number is - ESR4723.

kingrat Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I used a standard off the shelf filter head, and ported the fuel ways out. It has worked fine for quite a while now, just transfer the bits out of the fuel ways from the old one. Cost a lot less than the Land Rover part.

robbie1717 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hi What do you mean by "Standard off the shelf filter head"? I assumed if i got one with the same Part Number as the one i have now that would be Standard........... Seems a good idea what you did though, if i could just get a hold of that metal head bit, and i could reuse my exsising pipe connection, filter etc.....

SteveG Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Later fuel filters didn't bother with water sensor, so this maybe difference, but I'm pretty sure this came in on post 2002 not later so wouldn't tally with 2006 change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie1717 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 This is the prob i had with the Filter Head the mounting holes had corroded away and crumbled when i took the sercuring Bolts out. managed to get it back on with some Big Washers for now - till i figure out which Filter Head to get.

western Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 if you can't obtain a replacement filter head easily, it might be possible to either make/fit bushes to the holes if they are still intact or drill out & use oversize bolts/nuts to secure it to the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie1717 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 its seems quite well secured as it is now with the large washers covering up where the bolt holes have rotted out, i'll just leave it like this a while till i can free up some cash to get the replacement. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
