I used a pipe flaring tool and caulking gun to push the fitting on to the nylon fuel line cold as I have seen on a few youtube vids, worked a treat but swearing helped alleviate the frustration of doing it in situ on the vehicle.
Of course it's a landrover so wouldn't start after !!
But that's tomorrows job.

Yes! Aeroflow is a good choice! Raceworks also, I've chosen the latter for my planned remote oil filter installation.
Re the non-start... did you prime the fuel system?? if not then that's quite likely to be your problem, read on for the fix..........
TD5 fuel pump priming procedure two ways
one way… (preferred)
To start a TD5 after working on the fuel system OR running out of diesel.
1) Refill tank to at least 1/4 full
2) Turn ignition on, depress accelerator 5 times.
3) The MIL will then flash, this is purge mode (once completed the MIL will turn off).
4) Then hold the accelerator to the floor, crank engine over.
Once engine begins to start, bring the accelerator pedal up about half way until it fully starts.
There will lots of white smoke (unburnt fuel) but all will be good.
You will need a good battery to achieve this.
another way…
1) Refill tank to at least 1/4 full
2) Turn ignition ON and wait 30s.
3) Turn ignition OFF for 15s.
4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 six times.
5) After final 30s period fully depress the accelerator.
6) Keeping pedal depressed crank the engine.
7) Continue cranking, as soon as the engine is firing smoothly ease off
the accelerator approximately 1/2 way and release the starter key. The
engine should now be running.
8) If the engine fails to start, repeat the above.
