I think thats what this component it (from memory).
[URL=]  Click image to enlarge[/URL] Anyway, as you can see from the pictures it has a very slow weep, not visible drops, but obviously leaking from there. Should I bother investigating further or let it develop (as my old journeyman used to say). Whats the normal cause, o-rings, seals or the hoses themselves. If i'm likely to cause more problems during investigation I might not bother (i.e. if the bolts are a pig and liable to snap for example). Any advice folks?

If it's leaking, just replace it with oem/genuine. I think they are about £130 from memory. 2002 110 td5

Thanks, I can't see it dripping though, not from the regulator, it just looks wet / damp.
Will check in the morning that its not just oil dripping from the camshaft cover. Where best to source the regulator OEM, gen LR. Cheers Andy |

My experiance has been the fuel eventually leaks down on to the starter.
This contaminates the soliniod contacts and one day it won't start. It won't happen overnight but is long term issue of left for to long. I concur on going OEM, kits and cheaper copies don't give acceptable service life. Cheers, Kyle. |

There are 2 different regulators on the TD5's so you may need to know your motor prefix to order.
The early ones run a fuel gallery in the head and are a 2 hose regulator. The later run a hose under the manifold instead of a fuel gallery so are a 3 hose regulator. Cheers, Kyle. |

Agree with almost all that has been said. Long term this can cause big issues not only with starter but also the clutch as it can leak into the bell housing as well. Attached is the parts list. No. 1 is the early Td5 FPR housing and No. 14 is late (three pipe) unit.
I have had success with just changing the FPR only and not the whole unit but others have not. Only using genuine parts for important components like engine parts, fuel delivery system and brakes etcetra is good advice.

Thanks folks,
This is why I like this site, lots of good specific advice. I have sourced LR part on island 4x4 website (circa £140), so looks like I'll be buying that before next week! I'm assuming the recommendation on here would be to replace the fuel gauze and associated o-ring as well. As I said it does look like its leaking badly, in fact if its leaking at all i suspect its a weep, enough to make the temperature sensor and the surrounding pipes damp as well. Will run the truck today and have a game of I spy!!! Cheers Andy |
