Land Rover Discovery Defender TD5 Fuel Pressure Regulator Repair Fix Kit Install Instructions

Link to purchase product: x8r.co.uk/land...
A common fault on TD5 vehicles is a fuel leak from the fuel pressure regulator block. This is caused by a diaphragm and or seals within the block deteriorating. Our overhaul kit allows replacement of the failed seals curing the leak without having to replace the complete block at vast expense.
The Problem
The diaphragm within the fuel pressure regulator and / or the O-rings deteriorate within the fuel pressure regulator block causing fuel to leak from the fuel pressure block.
Within the fuel pressure block sits a fuel pressure regulator designed to keep the fuel pressure at a constant 4 bar pressure. Within the fuel pressure regulator is a small rubber diaphragm, this deteriorates and fails leading to fuel leaks from the fuel pressure block. Land Rover’s solution to this is to replace the complete block at £150+. However, the block rarely fails just the pressure regulator unit and on occasions the O-rings seals.
Symptoms of the fault
Fuel leaking down from the fuel pressure block at the driver’s side rear of the engine. Often collecting on the bellhousing, starter motor or on your driveway. A strong smell of Diesel under the bonnet is also a common indication of failure. To further diagnose; fuel leaking from the hole in the fuel pressure regulator is a sure indication that the diaphragm within the unit has failed.

Save the cost of a complete fuel pressure block which rarely fails, replace just the components that fail. Our kit allows you to replace just the fuel pressure regulator and O-rings that fail. Our kit even includes O-rings that don’t come with a replacement fuel pressure regulator block from Land Rover.

Great video! I'm not a mechanic, but this certainly was the detail I needed in order to get the job done. The only thing I would add/change would be the use of a rubber band over/around the three fastening/mounting bolts (when you are reinstalling the regulator) in order to hold them in place (so they don't slip back out) while you start the initial first few turns to get them attached to the block. Thank you for this!

Looks like an excellent alternative..... I will be sourcing this and trying it out, I have purchased from X8R in the past and the quality of the components received was of a high standard!

A really excellent tutorial, but for the fact I could not hear half of what was being said, it is all muffled and indistinct, also there were pipes shown disconnected and we are not told where they should be reconnected to, no doubt when this operation is performed it will be obvious, and what is the "spare" pipe on the fuel cooler connected to ?

[@tomasz4568]

yee it looks sooo easy... but not when engine is on its place ;(Anyway thanks for tutorial :)This helped me alot.

[@17th_Street_Preacher]

[@x5or]

Hi I have a question and need assistance to connect a fuel control unit from a 10p to a 15p Engine.
The 15p Engine has a separate fuel pipe running out side on the inlet manifold.
