If this was what came out of my fuel filter drain should I be concerned (obviously mine is absolutely crystal clear)
 but if it did look like this?
 Click image to enlarge also if I were to drain some fuel off and then noticed the end of the tank breather was wet......couldn't quite make out whether it was water or fuel but its not be wet for a few days and if it was wet I'd be wondering how and why? obviously if I was to be poking around it would be because I was thinking the engine still wasn't right as if there was fuel starvation......... of course mine's just fine 
any thoughts? |

drive it hard until it breaks - then take it back to the nice folk at land rover and say its broken
caveat - i am no mechanic! |

its gonna take me sometime to rectify all the 'problems' they've created fixing the other stuff..... I don't want it to break again! I'm not convinced they replaced the fuel filter on the last service.....if I decide to replace it and so long as I fill the new one with fuel has anyone had any problems with air blocks etc or is it essential I have one of them bleed tools to do the job? |

Basicly that is the fuel filter doing its job properly, the water or condinstate will always be at the bottom as fuel floats on water and the bits have been stopped getting through to your expensive injectors by the paper elements in the filter then settled to the bottom. All is well that is doing its job. If you get 1/2 a filter of water and
 i would change where you buy fuel and go and have a word to get their tanks cleaned but overall i have seen a hell of a lot worse. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.
