Hey guys,

can someone tell me the best place to buy a silicone turbo hose kit for my 2005 TD4 Freelander? Peter at PCB Landrovers in Adelaide says he can't find any from his Australian suppliers but says he can order from UK for $265 + postage.

Is that a good price?

Also is it a 'simple' change over or should I get the mechanic to do it?

thanks

Whats the advantage of silicon hoses over the standard ones?

The longevity of them.

Ahh right, thanks. Has there been a lot of standard hose failures in the FL2? (edit -> sorry just realised the OP was speaking of FL not FL2)
