| Can anyone confirm fuel pipe connections on fuel filter? |
|
I've changed fuel filter but wouldn't start despite turning on a 2nd off 4 times and bleeding till no air at top of engine. I'm now wanting to triple check I've got the correct hoses on the filter. Can anyone confirm which hose goes where?

Hi, I took the colour diagram off of old filter and put it on new. Filter is from landrover specialist so I think genuine. I've seen a few pictures from someone else fitting a filter and I'm pretty sure I've got it right. I'm going to try some easy start fluid in air intake and see if I can get it going that way.

You have to leave the ignition on for 30 seconds off and then back on for another 30 seconds.
If you have run it dry it takes a very long time to start Andrew

If its from the Land Rover specialist in Larbert might be worth checking its genuine as they do supply blue box stuff

I tried it again this morning and it started even without using the starter fluid. Thanks for the advice folks.
