help identifying a part thats leaking diesel

cant seem to upload pics
i have a defender this part is at the rear of the engine on the offside its attached to the engine. it might be one big part going onto the offside of the engine as well with fuel pipe going into it. i cant give u a year as this has been an upgraded engine in the v reg and bought it like that please help as its cutting out all the time cause of this leak

What engine is it ?

200 tdi and 2.5 N/a have lift pump at that side. where is it in relation to the fuel filter and how many pipes etc.

Re the pics try making it smaller by reducing the pixel size and resaving before upload if not they take ages so load and for them to view in a post.

This is a 200tdi, see the yellow paint? Just below that is where the lift pump with 2 pipes to it would be. Mine is removed and blanked off. Is that the area?

2.5td doesn't have a fuel regulator.
Might be TD5?
Has it got 5 cylinders?

will have to check that tomorrow mate there is a link on my first message its a pic

V reg should be a td5 I believe

5 cylinders give it away.

if in doubt Take a looking at top of rocker cover from in front of engine and post it the lads on here will certianly identify it as quick as a flash.

After 300 tdi i am stuffed

It's a fuel lift pump. I think they are all the same from 2.5na to 300tdi.
Held on with 2 bolts? 2 fuel pipes? One from the tank and the other to the fuel filter?

Sounds like the FPR.

Have a look here.

Can't tell off my phone what that is but doesn't look TDI.
Take a pic showing the whole engine from the front looking in.

thats exactly as it is mate

TD5 then....

ouch £165 off famous four plus the VAT

Common problem FPR on the TD5, easy job but a bugger to get at, make sure everything is clean before removing old one, you can buy a repair kit with new seals and tin gaskets but I opted to replace the whole unit, there are two types so make sure you buy the right one, the number of pipes on yours tells you which one you have, (two or three)
I bought mine from my landrover garage at the same price as online ones, talk to them nice and they may give you discount.

Looks like you have a TD5 engine (would be good to post these details) and the part leaking is the fuel pressure regulator - you can get a new one or buy a repair kit.

thanks in advance

LR Direct has a selection https://www.lrdirect.com/LR016318-Connector-Assy/?keep_https=yes Try and avoid the Britpart item if you can. The design changed around 2002 so if yours is a pre-2002 model you'll need a slightly different one
