Can someone tell me if its the fuel feed or return that connects to the fuel rail regulator.

From my previous post I stated it was the return but that doesn't sound right somehow.

Plenum lifted to give access to the fuel feed and return pipes (return removed)

The pipe still connected is the rail feed, the one disconnected is the return (pretty obvious from the pressure regulator which works by allowing excess pressure to bleed back to the tank wink )

If you are asking about the pipes ~ the one coming from the nearside is typically the feed from the fuel pump/filter.

Perfect, I was right then. Bloody hell!
If I'd have put money on somebody knowing this off the top of their head and giving me the answer quickly it would have been you Dave. Thanks very much mate thumbup

Nope, no braided stuff. I'm tight for time and couldn't afford to wait.

Sorry about the blonde question, but hey, I'm a computer nerd, I never claimed to be a mechanic.
I won't let on to Deb about the blonde jibe, or she'd spit in your lasagne hehe
