Defender Puma 2.2 intercooler hose to throttle body should be replaced

Just did a running repair on split intercooler output hose. Used silicone rescue tape covered with duct tape then secured with metal cable ties.
Would be an ideal time to upgrade the whole air system with silicone hoses.

Is Terra Firma TF 742 the correct kit for Defender 2012 2.2 with turbo hose recall modified alternator bracket to prevent turbo hose catching on steering? Any help apreciated as I want to order the correct kit

I'm not sure about Terrafirma, but the BAS kit is 5 ply and you'll get it in a week.
Theres lots of 4 ply out there.
Expensive shipping but recommended.

Wouldn't consider anything other than BAS

I got the terrafirma hoses, they were so **** i didn't waste my time fitting them. A little while later i got Allisport hoses and they seem pretty decent.
Postage at the UK end was really good - they left the UK the same day i paid for them. however they sat in Aussie customs at Underwood for 9 days!

Without fitting how did you assess the Terrafirma hoses as ****
Did they have visual quality defects?

I have experience with both, I have BAS now which is a far superior product compared to Terrafirma. That said Terrafirma kit would be an improvement on Stock/OE.

In much the same way a 100km drive in a clapped out Hillman Hunter is better than walking the same in thongs [emoji48]

Would be OK if you had decent foot wear though.

The TF742 "kit" didn't come with the hot side hose - the one that most commonly fails. Not sure if this was a mistake or not but whatevs. They were bloody thin, I can't remember how many ply they were but wow they were thin. So just straight up ordered a different set.

You are correct. The TF742 does not have the turbo to cooler hose. Just ordered BAS kit as suggested
In the meantime, Im hoping my repair with rescue tape and stainless cable ties will hold. Its lasted 800km so far
