Not sure about Melbourne (possibly Ritters), but M.R. Automotive in Brisbane will post/courier to you. I got a reasonable price from them.

The FAQ (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/93220-aulro-discovery-3-4-rrs-faq.html) has a good list of Melbourne LR service centres that you should contact depending on where in Melbourne you will be.

I know for a fact that Ritter in Burwood stocks them. You could also try MLR in Port Melbourne ( closer to the city).

I recently bought a set of the silicone hoses (three pieces) from AMV - AMV Automotive Services – Landrover Parts, Online Store, Wrecking, Melbourne (http://www.amv.com.au/) - cost me $242 delivered to my door. :D
Good people to deal with.

Plan on having plenty of change for the swear box when you tackle the short 50mm hose at the back of the passenger side of the motor.

My next project is to put double hose clamps each end of the small hose as when I first fitted it, I didn't tighten the clamps up tight enough and it blew off while towing 3 ton van up a range in northern NSW, the result was heaps of black smoke, no power and less than 10kph speed and half a day plus over nite stay beside the road to effect repairs.

HTH,

I ordered some for my Defender the other day from T.R spares. (Sydney area)

I also ordered some from All Four X 4.

I think they are Terra Firma brand but delivered to the door for $275 based on the link below.

Blue in colour and only did the main hose as it was cracked. Working a treat so far.
