+1 for inverting the nozzle, fuels much better |

Are you sure it's not the fuel guard ? There's a flap thing that can sometimes be partially engaged and needs resetting. Ebay - solves all your problems |

As above, turn to the 9 o'clock position, fuels no problem. |

If you can see a yellow flap, then it is the mis-fuel flap preventing the diesel going in, you need to reset it. Turning the fueling nozel upside down may help but will not fix the problem 56 TDV8 Vogue SE

I reset mine by gently pushing the yellow flap with the end of a 3 ft breaker bar as the landrover tool supplied with the car only moved it to a sort of half set position 56 TDV8 Vogue SE

I find if you keep the nozzle high so not down the neck too far works fine on mini and RRS - if I put it right in shuts off on both and on fl1 I used a quarter turn |
