it is fuel gauze that fits on to your engine head in between fuel presser regulate and head if it is clean and in good order and on need for replacement BUT the O ring that seals it in place must be discarded and new one fitted

Thank you very much Dorset Smith, but actually we understand which filter it is. The question is rather about discarding the filter or not, and if so why...
At the moment I have only two sources telling to remove it, none of both I'd consider as official: - the memory of a fellow LR enthousiast (actually our very competent and passionate teacher in the weekend car-tech class) who distinctly remembers having read about it - the manual of the Britpart FPR replacement kit. See step 10 upper right: remove and discard...  Click image to enlarge (This image comes from http://hx52.blogspot.be/2017/02/) Why would this filter be discarded of? Earlier today we could think of two options: - get rid of the filter because of clogging - but never heard or read about issues, and there's already the big filter at the rear wheel - replaced by a filter integrated in the FPR unit, like the BOSCH 0280160575 which is compatible with the Td5 according to this thread on a South African forum and hx52 again. In the end I decided to keep the MAE100010 filter because the e-Bay FPR I used didn't have any gauze filter. If anyone knows more about it or knows of a Technical Bulletin having been issued, then i surely would like to know... Greetings, Joris |

1. Britpart FPR
 replacement kit.  things in blue box I only use LR gen part
2. Get rid of the filter because of clogging. hole point of filter is to filter much easier and cheaper to replace filter than £500 + each for replacement injectors at is if you can find then in good order 3.Technical Bulletin i no of none regarding Discard this filter
4. and there's already the big filter at the rear wheel as fuel suppler did not add anti waxing agent to fuel last winter and fuel waxing can form in fuel pipe work too at colder temp well after the main fuel filter |

I agree with dorsetsmith about the use of LR genuine.
Another point, if you check the britpart refitting instructions you actually fit a new filter and o-ring before fitting the new FPR. 2002 110 TD5 White 1981 S3 R6 Matt Green - Now used as game viewer 2013 Discovery 4 XS |

Indeed, they do mention that, how could we have missed that ?!
 Probably we got carried away enjoying a technical debate...
Usually I only put LR or OEM but in this case I refurbished the fpr with a (non-Britpart) regulator that another forum member has successfully used on more vehicles. Thank you both! Joris |
