Typically, last item on the service list - replace the fuel filter and it all goes wrong. trying to unscrew the filter from the head and the whole thing came off in my hand. As below, the head seems to have corroded away.
 Click image to enlarge Looking online the cheapest genuine part I can find is; http://landrover.shukersparts.co.uk/fuel-f...00020.html Searching here it seems all the heads are interchangeable for the td5. Mine is a very late 06 with no water sensor anyway. Does anyone know of a cheaper genuine part? Also, I've never had to fetch those td5 push fit fuel connectors apart. How do they work? As in, how do I remove them from the old filter head and then reconnect them to the new head? Cheers |

Not a bad idea, was thinking how to secure it short term. I'm guessing this is a common problem. Alloy just looks like its been poorly protected and has oxidised away.

Throw some oversized flat washers on the bolts that way it will still hold in place no need to get a new one. 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

The pipes have catches in them that need to be squeezed together to get them off. They are quite fiddly if you have banana fingers like me. I used a pair of wire strippers - the type with the ends at 90 degrees, to squeeze mine in. I put a bit of tape around the two outer pipes to ensure I replaced them in the correct position. If you buy a new one you will probably have to transfer the non return and air bleed valves in the pipe connectors. I did mine the other week as the old one was leaking and looked like it had been chewed by mice. I used a head designed for an earlier model on my 2005 110. Bought the head and filter from Maltings Offroad from their Ebay shop with next day delivery. Allmakes brand with filter for £110 all in. Took less than an hour all in including removing and replacing the wheel and bleeding afterwards.

Thanks chaps. Unfortunately I cant use oversized washers, when I unscrewed the bolts the filter head completely disintegrated. It was incredibly brittle.
For now its held up with cable ties and wedged against the filter cover. I'll order a replacement and look at getting it done asap. |

Did mine on the TD5 a week ago, 130 quid from LR main dealer with the pipe fittings nrv and air filter thingy and a fuel filter. As said the pipe clips can be fiddly but squeeze the sides and push in/pull out and they will come off,
I used copious amounts of brake cleaner to get all the crap and grime off everything before removing the pipes and again inside the push fit bits as they were full of crap before connecting it all up. Edit: OH, forgot to say, check the location of the pipes on the new head, as they're not always in the right holes, I'd seen mention of it online but even the main dealer parts guy said to check, and... they were wrong. They were also all loose which he had mentioned. 3 Landrovers |

Thanks chap. I'd read the same.
On yours was it the NRV and bleed valve that were in the wrong unions? |

Just finished undercoating my 2000MY 110 yesterday. I want to try to stay ahead of these silly issues... Good luck with your repair.

Thanks mate. Funnily enough I have also ordered a dinitrol kit as well today for the same reason! Need to stop it now, I know too well the implication of leaving it too long. Had to do a lot of welding on my old 200tdi 90.

The air bleed was ok, but the NRV was in the right hand side nearest to you as you look into the wheel arch.
So you could look right through the two pipes nearest the chassis. 3 Landrovers |

If I understand right, the bleed valve should be in the pipe closest to you as you look at it and pointing the rear of the car and the NRV should be furthest pipe away pointing the rear of the car?

So new genuine part arrived today and like stated it does appear the valves are in the wrong lines!

Cheers, and the NRV is in the one immediately behind it?
