Range Rover Blues:
On top of the filter is a small brass screw, off centre.  On the bottom of the filter can is a plastic wheel.  Undoing the brass nut and opening the plastic wheel should allow any water in the fuel filter to drain away.  You can also use the plastic wheel to check there is some fuel in the filter at all.

If you opne the brass screw and pump the fule lift pump you should get fuel coming out of the brass screw, but if the fule lift pumpo is sat on top on the cam which drives it then you need to turn the engine over so that the cam lowers and you can pump the fuel by hand.

Or, if you have a good battery try starting it, it will turn quite a while then try to fire up, probably stall then take a little staring again.

Might also be worth checking that you got any rubber O rings in the right places on the fuel filter.

J.D.:
Number one injector is the fuel injector nearest the bulkhead. The fuel line will be a metal pipe going almost vertically into the top of the head. Undo it with a 17mm spanner and turn the engine over. When fuel comes out the injector, tighten it back up with same spanner and try starting.

Tommo:
im no specialist but isnt number one always the cylinder nearest the front of the engine traditionally???
