    Many on the RR forum have bypassed it.

    Bypass it, no problem. Definitely was no issue for me, did it over 6 months ago. One less silly little item to annoy you too!

    Check the plastic hose that runs across the top of the engine from the driver side - have a suitable rubber hose and fittings ready and give it the flick at the same time - if it hasnt already been replaced?
    Mine was brittle as buggerey and could have caused issues down the line.
    Nearly broke when my mechanic THOUGHT about touching it!

    Michaelp, it can be bypassed without any problems.

    See the link to the thread about the brittle coolant pipes and bypassing the throttle body de-icer:
