Hi all
I spotted a drip under my 2002 Td5 dripping off bell housing onto floor, I rushed round all the fluid reservoirs only to find no liquids missing 
I dried it all up underneath and put some card on the floor, started up and it started dripping again , caught some in a pot and found it to be diesel 
I took the engine sound proofing cover off and saw a drip from round the back of the engine, I took a pic from offside looking over wing and have put an arrow from where the drip is coming from [it's behind round thing] Any idea's please as I know nothing about these engines other than changing the oil/filters etc. Many thanks Brian  Click image to enlarge |

Fuel pressure regulator, it's quite a common fault. Ray

You can see it Brian it's just to the right of the green arrow on your picture, with 3 pipes and an electrical connection. 3 x10mm headed bolts holding it on. Me personally, I use the £30 rebuild kits off eBay and have had 100% success with rebuilding them. Some people prefer to chuck a whole unit on for about £120......

Thanks again for quick reply, I'll have a look at the re-build kits [I'm not tight but just blown £500 on a personnel number
 ] sod's law something was going to go wrong  |

Nothing wrong with the kits. I'm not tight either but hate waste and I can't see the point of scrapping £100 worth of housing that there's nothing wrong with.

A socket set with a 10mm socket and a pair of circlip pliers. Oh and a spanner to undo the return hose if yours is 2002>

Many thanks, will give it a go next day off [not dangerous using with a drip is it?]
Kit's seem to start from as little as a tenner, does that sound right? |

Some kits are just a load of 'o' ring seals and a gasket. Look for one that has the little round regulator as well as 100% that's what's leaking

The good news is it's a hell of a lot easier to do on a defender than a disco
