Thread: Another couple of LR engineers on hit list hoses

Olive...

And yes, I use them all the time...

It's the bean counters that force the quick connectors snap
fittings push fittings on cars and many other items with complex
builds blame Henry Ford for the start of it.
Manufacturers want cheap staff so they train them to do one
simple task.
To cuts build time/manufacturing costs even more cars are
assembled the most efficient way possible like Toombie says
it is often easier to remove more parts to gain access as cars
are built in layers.

Just add up all the time it takes to tighten a worm drive clip
or screw in connector and multiply it 40 odd times.

I'm feeling especially helpful this arvo for some reason.

Land Rover Parts - 25: HOSE - HEATER TO OIL COOLER - L/R DISC TD5

+$24 for genuine....watch out for the Land Rover tax.

Is it worth the extra to go genuine?

Dunno.
