Hi All,

Bit of a long shot but exhausting all avenues here. Problem is a hose failure on 2012 Defender 110. Have limped to Birdsville and had arranged part to be sent from Melbourne; but TOLL have 'lost the parcel'. So now facing another 5 days here unless I can get the part on the Rex Flight out of BRISBANE early Monday morning. It's the little 45 degree angle one with a different diameter at either end, on the passenger side of the engine heading towards the intercooler.
Common problem I now know. Dirk at Defender tuning near Coffs is checking to see if he has a silicone one, but any ideas, help, suggestions greatly appreciated.
I'm supposed to be leading a Simpson desert club trip starting today....:mad:

Thanks

Patrick

Was your hose replaced under the recall?
