Hi Laurie, just seen this post after posting something very similar in the RRS forum. Silicon is the go then..... cheers Marty

Silicon hoses last longer and remain flexible: the mistake many make is to use the. original hose clamps instead of the proper silicon hose clamps.

All the good quality clamps are stainless steel and wider than stock clamps as they operate with more clamping pressure ! Below are the popular T-bolt clamp and the Gates worm drive version, Ebay is your friend here as good quality clamps can be brought for 50% to 75% cheaper than Repco or Supercheap.

I bought that kit, or at least one with the same part number.
Big hoses are fine, short hoses don't fit anywhere and it is missing the two 90 degree hoses.

I've had silicone hoses for a few years now. For the 90 degrees I purchased hoses from a after market performance shop that had same I.d. With the 90 degree bend and cut them to fit.

so far so good

Bloody autocorrect! I wanted to know the internal diameter. Cheers

Have recently ordered a silicone hose set for 3.6 diesel and apart from my mechanic recommending that they should have "T bolt" type clamps, he was not keen to fit them so they languish in my spares box at present.
I now see reports of 90 degree bends that also have to be sourced (???)
I have no idea where the turbo hoses run on a 3.6, or how difficult they are to fit, so wondering if I have enough hoses in the kit that I have received.
Can somebody suggest what is missing? Is it the 90 degree hoses that are mentioned?

Short hoses are off the turbo and piping to the intercooler from memory. I bought the same kit and was of the same opinion and had them laying around the shed for a whilst. When I replaced a turbo and had it on the hoist I had the "oh so that's where they go moment" I replaced them all.

On the plenum chamber There are two at the back and are straight 51 ID and the two 90 degree elbows at the front are 45 ID . Land rover stock these four hoses for $252 for the 4 hoses and (august 2020 pricing) and do not stock silicon. I think I ended up with silicon ones I had to cut to length for around $70 or $90 all up.

With the intercooler the hoses are in a 6 piece kit they cover what's needed in land rovers intercooler section. the other hoses some are referring to is the air box section section

and the 90 deg etc is in the air box section, which land rover don't class as intercooler.

I've just done the valve cover gaskets and a few other things on my wife's RRS tdv8, it seems to have developed a boost leak somewhere, i cant find any splits in the top hoses so i suspect its the lower drivers side intercooler hose that is leaking. i had already replaced the top hoses with silicon hoses several years ago but that kit only had the top hoses - do the l322 and l320 use the same kit? does anyone know how hard the lower hoses are to change in a l320?

With the 90dg pipe, looking at the diagram above, is it the hose box hoses you are talking about replacing with silicon? that seems to be the only 90dg bend there, seems a bit pointless considering they are on the intake side of the turbo, i would have thought the 90dg bends are the ones between the valve covers and the upper plenum?
