    I doubt it mate, the turbo hose they screwed up two weeks ago is under the bonnet, the water separator is in the rear wheel arch.

    I don't think they simply broke off,that type of thing happens every day on farm vehicles,I'd say a stick or rock followed the tyre around and hit it or a stick ripped on the lines and snapped the fittings off.I culled roo's as a kid in my series three and I've lost count how many times sticks caused this type of damage,I had one come up under the bulkhead and stab me in the calf,another come through the rad and mangles the fan,with the Tdi a stick came from the back wheels and smashed the drivers side mirror off,these things happen.

    I agree with Pat. I have smashed the lines of my TD5 twice with the help of large sticks. The setup on my Puma looks identical

    Nope. They just fixed it and sent it back on a truck. LRA was pretty good and did just what they said they would. Im not sure but I think they might have adjusted the brakes while they had it. It seemed to pull up pretty well today.

    I still love the damn thing....
