pic 2 - where is this hose that needs the cover cutting
pic 3 - looking down on the other hose clip described above for the pulley, which bracket please
pic 4 - intercooler hose, this is not the culprit ?

thanks, just thought with pics maybe easier to locate above hose problem

The cover that needs trimming for the top radiator hose is for the TD or SD V6. I'm not sure what motor is in your photo

Here’s another photo of mine, which is a TDV6 3.0L. This is the hose for which I created the thread and it seems there are other ones to check on other engine variants. I’ll update my original post as well.

that explains it, mines the smaller 2.7L TdV6 not the 3.0L engine. hence the differences.
the rear hose is the culprit for the 2.7L it would seem as shown in my pic. cheers
