    drippy defender diesel problem

    I have the dreaded 2.5 defender diesel reg drip...read a couple of forums but cant seem to find anyone that can supply me with some specs on the "o"ring sizes , and as this is my only means of transport I dont want to strip the pressure reg down to measure the "o"ring sizes then put it back together again ,then off to the o ring people , then strip,hone,reassemble, you can imagine the kind of language I'd be talking then. Anyone done a recon could you please give some advice..

    Hi, I would recommend a new pressure regulator. These are normally good for 200,000kms. The problem isn't always the O rings but the diaphram inside the regulator which lets go. Changing the O rings seems to be a temporary fix in most cases.

    seconded... replace the regulator, then keep the old one pull it down, measure everythng up then goto a hydraulics place and get the orings to suit. reasemble and keep it in the box for next time.

    Hi...having not opened one before ,I never realise that it had a diaphram ...makes more cents now ...and I suspect you are right , good chance there could be a tear in the diaphram...as I said to swagman ,I would have thought landy would have addressed this common issue by now..there was hoping
    Thanks for advice...Will be on the look out for a reasonably priced new one.
