Errrm, they didnt say which part was corroded. They used the sentence "The fuel rail connector is corroded". They then cleaned it up.
So, if I was going to try and figure this bit out myself where should I start looking....?

Oh no, I here you all say - not another one (have spent 20mins reading every other Td4 owners tales of woe!!)
I gave my TD4 steptronic auto hippo the luxury of a full main dealer service at 84k, and amongst other things it had 2 turbo pipes changed (dont ask me which ones...)
I wanted LR to...
