A word of warning my 2nd ebay fpr kit (ex Tas supplier) has failed after less than 6 months. The first lasted @18 months. Both have failed at the diaphragm crimp. I pressure tested both and this is clearly where the fuel leaks from - not from the o rings as often stated. So the internal diaphragm has failed.
I have a 'Bosch' reg in reserve...also made of Chineseium..and I'll see how that goes. Hope it is better quality!
Next step will be to buy a gen LR set up costing 400 plus.
Beware the Ebay fix as it seems to have serious durability issues.

AT RESTThose FPR kits are hit and miss some have been Lucky some not, we often get asked for them, but wont stock them.

SupporterWhats the part number for the Bosch regulator that you've used? I recall looking into it a few years ago and no one had yet matched up the individual regulator until British Offroad down in Tasmania started selling the kits.Originally Posted by mattg

0280160575 is the number I think. We had one for a Ford but it is exactly the same 'cept it's 4bar.

The units listed here are a petrol regulator not diesel this may be a factor

True it may be a factor and time will tell I guess. But I'm time rich atm so no great hassle to replace it once again. Job time from removal to installation is now down to 35 minutes☺
I have perfected the process by first removing the pressure sender connector then the sender unit then the 3 hoses then using a stumpy ratchet handle and 6" extension with wobbly connector the 3 bolts. Easy!

Update.
Car goes so much better. It revs to over 4k now not 3500 as previously and no more stumbles off idle. Pulls like a train too.
Should have done this change years ago!
