Thread: TD5 Fuel Filter Water Sensor problem

Hi To All,
Just wanted to share a little bit of information re the water sensor located at the bottom of the fuel filter. After just changing the fuel filter I started her up and found the water light was on all the time. Did a little investigating and found the fault was due to the sensor tip touching a metal section located inside the filter. This appears to only effect the Bearmach ESR4686R (Also labelled ESR4686 <C>) filters and is due to the internal construction of the filter. The original and Britpart filters are not a problem.

This is also a problem with ryco and other filters I contactad Land Rover they said disconect it as we have had a lot of problems with these's so I rang my machanic he told me the same as they only deal with Land Rover I disconected it problem solved.
