Hi Alan,
This is not uncommon. I had mine replaced about 12 months ago for the same reason. I'll be looking for a silicon replacement next time too. You'll probably be blowing a bit of black smoke out the exhaust as well.

Silicon hoses are available all over the UK Landrover online parts suppliers - they should be available closer to home as well. Here's one:-
