Hi all

Having recently sourced a replacment 1.8 engine for the fecked freelander my father in law Graham and myself removed the old engine and replaced it with my "new" engine over a few days.
Well, this is were it turned in to a nightmare as when we removed the old engine we had a broken fuel pipe quick release clip on the injection manifold so Graham cut the fuel pipe to allow removal of the old engine:doh: and now the replacment engine is in and everything reconnected we cannot fit the "quick release bayonet fitting" into the fuel line:mad: tried all the usual things like boiling water ect to soften the fuel pipe but to no avail

can anyone help or point us in the right direction :confused:
 
That is a nighmare, you should have used a thin screwdriver on each end to release the pipe. that pipe is under alot of pressure so by just bodging it it will just pop, its a hard plastic pipe under the rubber.
 
it was only sliced along the length of the "bayonet" so its still long enough.

has anyone done a sucssesful splice to this type of fuel pipe?

Does anyone know if the fuel feed line has a quick release fitting at the fuel tank end?

lots of questions i know but its all complete except fot this

i can't believe that we may have to replace the entire fuel line, i assume that the LR fuel line comes complete with the quick release fitting in place otherwise we would still be unable to fit the quick release fitting, what a nightmare this is turning out to be :mad:

any advise or help greatly appriciated
