It's not a cheap exercise. Complete hose set is around $420

Thanks

That seems overly expensive, i got a complete TD5 hose kit for the Disco (same as the Fender) for $135.

Not including the Intercooler.

the bottom hoses are a bugger to get at in the Disco

Baz.

hey where did you get a set of hoses for $135?

T.R.Spares Padstow, the dearest hose is the top one, the others are only small and fairly cheap.

Here's a link to British4wd and their prices for the hoses

Heaps cheaper, even buying them seprately.

Baz.

It was British 4WD that quoted me $420.
Parts as follows
top rad. hose $118
by-pass hose $101.65
Bottom rad hose $60
Oil cooler to rad hose $27.70
fuel cooler hose $44.65
Engine to EGR cooler hose $12.45
EGR cooler return hose $54.80

Try Ricks 4x4 07 5596 6662, very sure he can do much better than that......tell him I sent you and he may do better.

Good luck, Mick

Well that might be why, i only got the radiator hoses, about 5 hoses

Called Ricks 4 x 4.
Costs are about the same.
Guess it is just an expensive exercise but cheaper than cooking a motor

Thanks for the advise everybody
