2000 Defender 90 Td5 Silver LE Zambezi Silver

Update to close this out:

Swapped injectors and still got the same issue so I bit the bullet and fitted a genuine fuel pump as it was the only component that wasn't new, this sorted the misfire and gave me a significant increase in performance

However, this also caused an already replaced FPR to leak a day later. Another new genuine FPR and gasket and it now seems to have cured the leak. On closer inspection of the failed new FPR it appeared to have features indicative of a porous casting and the mating surface was not machine perfectly. Pretty disappointing, especially as this was direct from LR and was brand new at considerable cost

I just hope my clutch wasn't too badly soaked in diesel from the leak but time will tell

Happy chap now and it got through another 12 months MOT!
