Thread: TD5 Fuel Pressure Regulator leaking fuel - Help

Had mine replaced at the 100,000 service. The replacement cost $350 plus fitting. I now use Ritter in Melbourne and was very pleased with their approach. They would find a suitable non genuine, but proven part for you. The LR list price I think is in the region of $550.

Mine needed replacing at 70,000. This is another common great design fault by Landrover with the TD5.

I must be lucky. It's done 143,000 and it was where pipe number 5 goes in that i cracked hte housing. Quick weld and its done 3,000 so far.

Firstly the responses would suggest that this is common, slightly discomforting thanks to all.

Second, Bio Diesel is not a factor.

Third, I have also had one of my pipes come loose on me before due to vibration?

I have spoken now to both LR and a LR specialist and no-one is interested in reconditioning as the labour is not far off the cost of the part. Personally I would rather spend $150 on labour than $380 on parts. If I was a service centre I know which one pays the wages.

As you all can see from the diagram it appears serviceable. I am going to get some gaskets (expect at least 2 removal / re-installs) and then get into it somehow. WITH PHOTOS if I remember.

Wish me luck.

I do this because I abosultely hate the throw away mentality as it is a waste and dumbs down society.

Hi
Dont think I paid quite $380,(non dealer)will have to find the rec.
But had a brand new reg which I fitted myself.
Cant understand how those hoses hold pressure,click tap fittings seem a more posative engagement.

Just a pet hate of mine. I'd like to think that LR would have revised the seals, but I'm not hopeful.

Add that to a long list of things they should have got right in the first place.

Thank's LandyAndy,

I'm in Sydney near Parramatta. Seems my D2 TD5 is starting to cost $$ everytime I get it serviced at some of the genuine dealers around the place. Other options are certainly looking good at the moment. I'm working near the CBD so places close to that area are good for me.
