Well, been driving around like a mobile atm machine with the daughter today, finally pulling up at the local shops when at that moment gushes coolant on the ground. zip up the hiil home with no heating issues. Let things cool down a bit and investigate, hop its just the lower hose, hope

Sorry been away, happy it was a coolant hose, the expansion to thermostat to water pump and heater, 3 hoses in one ..... The one that costs $ 140 and busts your knuckles getting it off. The new hose now comes with a plastic junction that now can get brittle with heat, yay!

Oh awesome to hear. What are they thinking sometimes.
AT RESTProbably be ok, the radiators have plastic side tanks, and they get exposed to heat also.Originally Posted by Baffle
Remember hose are consumables, 10 -14 years is quite a good run for an item.

Was told 5 to 7 yrs for these, but it all depends on usage and environment , just cautious of another equation in there.

I have this hose new and spare in my boot. Got it from Rimmers UK on offer Genuine LR for 40 pounds delivered. Nothing wrong with old one but Im thinking its 13 years old so may look to swap it shortly,,
