Hi. I've noticed today that the fuel rail pressure test point is leaking on my gems 4.6. Is it possible to change the valve?
Thanks in advance.
Jas.
 
It's a standard Schrader valve so you should be able to take the centre out as you would on a normal tyre valve
I think!!

If that’s true the rubber tube to repair the valve in my in my bike puncture repair kit according to the box, but I doubt that the rubber in a standard tyre valve would be petrol proof.

Yes the actual seal is probably different, I've not checked

Out of curiosity and to see what LR would charge for a valve l looked in my disco parts catalogue for the number and surprise it’s no listed, or I can’t find it shown on the fuel rail pictures.
As u say it just a Schrader valve then the valve :)
And so may just need a slight a nip to stop any leak, not unknown with with tyres in my past fitted with an inner tubes that leaked :(
 
Cheers guys. I have a Schrader valve extractor somewhere, I think. I used to use it for refrigeration systems repairs. I'll see if it'll fit tomorrow and post my results here.
 
I have a extraction tool and also is somewhere. For £3.25 I purchased 10 of them a few years ago to hand out to mates, kept two for myself but I haven’t a clue where they might be, never been used it was a “just in case” tool so I must go on a search in my toolboxes :)

Change my own bike tyres so the extractor gets regular use
