Fuel leaking from water sensor

Now I knew I needed a new sensor as its been disconnected since I got the Disco a month ago. But now its peeing out the sensor when I started it tonight, threw about 3 litres down the road......
Is this a common fault?, and just where can I get a sensor on a bloody bank holiday???

Had the same problem, after I bought a LR one i noticed that it appeared the same as a smiley Transit one, a Transit filter from Halfords or whoever's open will have a plastic fuel drain plug that should fit to get you out of trouble.

As filters are only a few pounds to buy, why not just sling a bolt in the hole for now? It should get you out the deep stuff til you can get a new filter. You can buy the water sensors on there own but as they are prone to giving false signals and leaking you may be better off getting filters with the plastic drain valve on the bottom and simply unplugging the sensor wire.

Great idea, i,ll pop to Halfrauds today and see what they got..
