Just realised a broken tube in the rear left wheel box – just above the exhaust pipe.

As Keith says, it's the diesel tank breather ..

Thank you very much for your comments
I have tried to find this part but very difficult to find. I only found this: http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php?xProd=160379 but over 30 quite !! for a plastic tube - that even brake very easy 
Have anyone experience with ordering parts directly from brit-car? |

I use Brit Car all the time for parts. Never a problem but can take a while to send as they supply a lot of genuine parts that have to be ordered.

Just buy a bit of fuel pipe that is the correct diameter, and use a jubilee clip to join it to the original rigid section, that has the one way valve.

I joined mine to length nylon fuel line and ran it along the top of the chassis rail to the engine area and put it up high against the firewall then joined the valve to the end of it. When you wish to bleed the fuel system just blow a bit of compressed air down the tube and it will prime the system for you.

And move the pipe behind the plastic plate.
There is a recall for it. In that positiin you can have water/dirty ingress inside the tank and future problem with the water up tu damage the common rail high pressure pump and injectors. Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition
