It takes me 20 minutes to remove the rail. However unless there's a leak with one of the HP lines, or the seals on the regulator or rail sensor,
It'd be interesting to see where it's leaking from.
I can't realy see how the rail can leak. It's a pretty substantial piece of machined steel, which is designed to take enormous internal pressure.
But no, changing it isn't difficult. Do bear in mind that LR say that all the HP lines also need replacing once disturbed, so that will add to the cost.
Thanks for your reply, mine is 2007.
Hi,
Thank you,
The leak is where the sensor screws into the fuel rail, you can see it dripping.
I had the sensor changed but it didn't stop it. It wasn't cheap so I'm thinking of buying a used rail with the sensor in place hoping that will cure it until the new year when I can look at a new one.
I'm hoping my partner can do it if it's fairly simple.

Take it back as it was not fixed and the sensor was obviously not needed !! Get refund, do-it-yourself!!

What year is the car, and what spec is the engine, is it a TD4 or SD4?
If it was diagnosed as a rail sensor leak (very unusual), and a replacement sensor didn't fix it, then really the place responsible should be fixing it properly at their cost.
The fuel rail isn't difficult to replace, but like I said there's not much that can go wrong with it, it's just a substantial steel tube with some fittings for pipes to attach.
If that place that looked at it can't fix the issue, then it needs to go to someone who knows how a common rail engine works, ideally at the original repairers cost.

Easy to remove and fit two bolts holding down the rail, then the fuel line nuts to undo cheap one below got to be worth a punt.

Remove the air ducting.
Then the engine cover.
This will then open up the top of the engine so the fuel rail can be removed.
unplug wiring to fuel rail.
Also press in the green tang to remove the fuel hose same pic above.
Unplug the other end of the fuel rail, now all you need to do is undo the fuel lines.

Wow thank you so much for that, you have made it very clear.
I am going to order one and have a go.
Thanks again x
