Fuel lines

also re the td5 fuel line and bursting... isnt the td5 fuel pump in the tank therefore the td5 fuel lines would be under much greater pressure than a tdi???

not sure how relevant it is but I have half worn tdi fuel lines through were touching each other, found it on inspection and just wrapped some hose around at the point of contact and a cable tie??? no leaks no problems.

Thanks to all. Now that it has once again been confirmed that im nuts, my wife has been of that opinion seen I brought the Defender. I will leave the lines as is.

Seems the problem is not so much the pipe material, but that they could be susceptible to rubbing through if against a sharp edge etc.

I would not replace the pipes with a different material throughout, but I would say have a really close look for potential friction points and protect these areas with a rubber sheath around the original pipe.

That's an LRA recall issue. Have you taken it to a dealer?
Can't recall the details, but a search on here should find it.
LRA will do the fix / recall at no cost.
They won't reimburse you if it's not done at a dealers, (even if you provide the chaffed/holed fuel lines, receipts and stat. dec. from the mechanic), as I found out :( after losing 3/4 of a tank in diesel and taking it to the local non dealer LR w'shop, which was just around the corner. :wallbash:

Good move,there are enough things that you will "have" to change/repair/adjust, without looking for unnecessary ones:wasntme::D
