Land Rover Defender fuel filter head swap WJN000020
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
If you watched an earlier video of mine you would have seen me try and repair the fuel filter head on my Land Rover Defender TD5. I have done this previously with 100% success, link to that video here: • Defender TD5 fuel filt...
This time unfortunately the "fix" failed. Today's video shows me swapping the whole head unit.
The cost of the OEM part (no after market parts are available) is £180. The parts separately (except for the unavailable casting) are £242! So perhaps not too bad a deal!
The individual parts and prices are listed below:
Air bleed valve WJN500110 £10.00
Brass spigot(4) ESR4724 £158.60
Washer (4) ESR354 £12.58
One way valve VUB503950 £23.58
Fuel filter ESR4686M £12.60
Water sensor WKW500060G £25.55
Total £242.91

What are the two smaller plastic connectors for in the picture? There are two big ones with the sides that you press, but I've no idea about the two other pieces.

Hi, not to sure what parts you are on about. The head has 4 brass spigots that fuel lines slide onto. On the outside they are the same size. Can you explain a little more about the bits you speak about?

@@MikeMakesIt at 6:48 you put a picture into the video, which has the two female connectors, a straight one and a right angle one, but also two straight spigots with an O ring on.

Ah those. They are connectors for the fuel pipe ends in case I broke any. In the video I mention my original connectors didn’t clip on very well so bought them just in case. I did’t need them in the end. They come as a two piece set although if I used them I would be able to chuck away one end as this is replaced by the brass spigot in the fuel head.

@@steenjinks7359 no, didn’t change any, just used the originals. Apparently they are a bit of a pig to swap into the fuel lines.
