Take my advice and be very careful when attempting to remove the pipe at the quick release end as they have a habit of snapping at the five way splitter thingy as I have just found out.(The expensive way) and unfortunately as far as Land Rover are concerned this five way splitter thing only comes as part of the complete fuel line assembly at the extortionate price of £293 + vat. I have managed to bodge together an assortment of T pieces and rubber fuel hose to keep my beloved Landy going. I have been told that BMW do have a similar part which comes as a seperate piece but I am still waiting for this to be confirmed. So if anyone has any ideas on a fix for this expensive piece of plastic I would be hugely in debt to them for the rest of my days.

So with the broken bits in your hand, please describe how the "nut" disconnects the fuel line from the 5 way fitting?
