it helps to remove the lifting bracket ,and remove the switch first 19mm spanner needed, i added to my post have a read of the link i added, the fpr is secured by bolts bottom one been the trickiest, the pipes are 14mm spanner size, i allways remove the pipes during removal and from the new unit before fitting ,on a defender its quite easy much harder on a disco
Thanks for all that James, outcome is i,ve ordered a cheap sixty Quid replacement, looks easy enough to fit now i have my head around it.
i have to wait a week or so for it but will let you know how fitting goes

Take your time and look out for
1 The small filter in the head which can fall out and get lost when you remove the o ring (its expensive)
2 keep things as clean as possible don't contaminate the fuel to the injectors.
3 The pipe connections have a small o ring on the end to seal them they are usually squashed and needs replacing
4 As James mentioned there are two types be sure to use the correct gasket for your version, when re assembling.
5 Run the purge cycle two or three times when you are finished to get the air out and try to flush away any contamination.
I used a repair kit as the seals and regulator fail but the housing is just a small aluminum casting
This one is similar : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autopart...835268?hash=item1a38b991c4:g:qwAAAOSwnw9Z9MIl
I found my 1/4" socket set invaluable and it will help if you are a part time gynecologist.

Did it start with the leak and did it suck air in
