Cost: around AUD 18 and a few scares in my hand, besides one lost hour in my live. Itś really simple and as far as I know, VW is far ahead in quality parts compared to LR.

Any more info on this please? Dont suppose you have a part number for the VW regulator??

Many thanks.

Due to valve position, I can't see the part number, and I'm afraid to move it in case it spills again, so I really don't have it. i know its a Magneti Marelli, used in submerged applications. As I understand, it comes in old VW engines with monopoint injection systems. I'll try to obtain some info with my mechanic

Volkswagon parts in a landy!!!! they do the trick. i just had to replace my heater core on my 300tdi defender and looked in my old wreak up the back and found the VW golf unit is only 8mm smaller with the same outlets and all, so a small packer made up and all reinstalled it seems to work better than original.
