    Bit the bullet and paid the money to subscribe to topix last night.

    I saw that both intercooler hoses (hot and cold side) have replacement bulletins.

    Mine was the cold side that just split and was replaced.

    From the pics in the bulletin I see that the hot side hose (turbo to intercooler) hasn't been done on my vehicle so will be asking for that next service. (This is the one that rubs on the steering shaft). The replacement process includes fitting a bracket to the alternator mount bolts that holds the hose steady. Missing on my vehicle - thus how I know they haven't done the upgrade.

    AndyG - the bulletin instructs dealers that if not done, the improvements need to be done prior to vehicle delivery. Better check either way.

    I actually have a full set of silicone hoses waiting for it, just in case, and for a future alisport I/C.

    But how would you know if it was done?
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Can anyone put pics up of what was there before replacement, and what the new replacement part fitted looks like (and where), so us non mechanical types can have a quick look-see to determine if we need to get it looked at?

    A kind of before and after thing?

    Cheers,

    Like AndyG mine is getting built in July. If anyone has a photo that would be great so I know what to look for when it is delivered.

    Is there any bulletin number which could be quoted to the dealer to see if it is applicable to my vehicle?

    How topical. My turbo host that rubs on the steering column is being replaced tomorrow on my 2012 Model. There was a post about this 3 months ago (on this forum).
    I checked mine and sure enough it was rubbing. I reported this to the dealer and they said that the replacement that had been designed to get around this problem was no good. Then let me know about a month ago that the second replacement design was now available. Photo attached of hose rubbing on steering column. I'll get a photo posted of the replacement as soon I can.

    I have just tried to upload the photo of the rubbing pipe but I can't as I already posted it on this thread

    Defender 2.2 Intercooler hoses. so you'll have to take a look at it there.

    Replacement hose worn!

    I just got under my 2012 130 to get a picture of the turbo hose with the coil that was replaced after the original failed.

    I found the new hose wearing against to steering shaft yoke! The bad thing is the metal coil could catch on the male torx fastener and foul the steering

    Will be onto Landrover in the morning.
