New drips.
Hello everyone, today I noticed a small puddle in the garage under my LHD 110 Td5 (right hand side) under the starter. Attached are a couple of pics to show where it travels from. It seems to be running down the outside of the battery cable to the starter and dribbles down to the bolt anchor point on the starter (see pic below). The fluid has no odour I can discern but has the viscosity of diesel.

It seems to originate from the fuel pressure regulator, is this prone to leaking? I cannot seem to find any refernce to this happening. Anyway please chime in if you have any wisdom to share before I begin pulling parts off to stop the drip.

Common issue on the Td5, either the seals or the regulator unit itself fails.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

I don't know what the spares sources are like where you are but you can get full service kits on the British Ebay or if you feel unsure of your strip down skills as they are quite fiddly then go for a complete one. Just be sure to get the right one for your engine, the 10P has differences to the 15P engines.

Perfect, thanks for the feedback. Spares are always a couple days away. Mine is 200 MY somassume it would be a 10P motor? Used to drive a 300Tdi as my daily driver and I am now getting used to the Td5. Knew the 300 inside and out but was not sure what to get as service spares for this motor still building my parts store LOL.

Any thoughts as to driveability for a few days? Is it going to suddenly develop a massive leak? Am supposed to head out north of Montreal for a few days off roading and camping. Two hours each way to the trail head and back home. I really appreciate the speedy replies! 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

I had no luck with a rebuild kit, money wasted as the seals were just a teeny bit too small.

To replace the regulator assembly on a 2000 Td5 (10P engine) you need LR016319. Available as genuine, OEM or pattern.

Gasket MSX000010 also needed but some assemblies come with it.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

It's one of those LR things, you can go ages and the leak doesn't get any worse but you may start to get starting problems with a fuelling problem, if it's the pressure valve leaking then the pressure drops and it is harder for the pump to build up the initial pressure. Other problems may arise in that the spent fuel tracks down the cables to the starter motor and can start to erode the starter solonoid contacts but this does take time. Another little foible is that the spent fuel can also get in the bell housing and contaminate the clutch which manifests itself with clutch slip at higher revs, especially in damp conditions. It shows itself more when you are accelerating away from a junction and just as you get to the point you want to change from second to third you become aware of slippage, same with third to fourth and on long uphills.
These "byproducts" are shortlived when you have fixed the leak so don't think that you have a legacy of problems.

Installed a new OEM seal kit and FPR into the existing housing. Also took the time to change the fuel filter since I had the system opened up. Still no drips since install. Keeping fingers crossed that it will last. Thanks for the assistance everyone.

Righto - I have just done this job, and as per various instructions off the web I removed the o-ring to get at and clean the small gauze filter (from that drawing above: part number 5 - strainer fuel filter).

It came out easy enough, but what I found was the following, it's open at the end (both ends), is this right?

Should the far end be sealed?
