Hi folks, the missus was towed home yesterday by the AA. The fault - a leaking fuel filter and stripped water trap - again
This is the second filter and water trap in as many months.
The garage has pointed to faulty parts and I know plastic threads are not the best in the world but surely you know when one has stripped i.e at time of fitting.
I have done a search and it seems that this is not unheard of on TD5 Discos but I am puzzled as to how it can happen post fitting?
I checked the new filter for leaks today and it is dry but was hot to the touch even after just starting from cold - is this normal or is the heat contributing to the failure of the threads?
Thanks,Will.
