    WARNING!!! td5 injector o-rings

    To cut a long story short, 2 confirmed cases and 1 suspect, here's the evidence: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/ ... st-4105651 , anyone know by any chance the size of good o-rings?

    I would want to be 100% certain that genuine washers & “o” rings AND washers were actually fitted.

    We have never found an issue with the genuine parts and have replaced them many times over the years.

    As long as the UK supplier can be considered serious i can vouch that the o-rings used by my friend were in a LR labelled bag ordered as genuine LR (not OEM or other)..., maybe you didnt read the whole story or you think i'm a liar, no probs, just think about the saga with the drive shaft seals and IMO better be cautious than excessively confident .... never underestimate somebody's incompetence in this area, i wouldn't have made this warning public if i wasnt sure about it, believe me or not

    I can guarantee the genuine washer can be the wrong size. Some of you including JC may remember when I did mine a few years back I had issues and could not work out why until I removed them and actually compared the washers to the old ones. They were around a mm smaller in diameter. You could not pick it without putting them together. Second genuine set were fine.

    I've seen a mates set of Britpart washers have imperfections enough to leak compression. Really, washers, can't make washers. *sigh*
