I’ve never heard of a LR one failing that’s less than 7 years old. Replace at timing belt time and savadamuney for somewhere else.

Whoops - mine is 14 yo. Fortunately it is all part of the growing list of goodies waiting to be installed.Quote:

That’s is scary as 7-10 years I’d say is the danger zone.Quote:

I have the other plastic coolant elbow in hand that attaches to the block which ShaneShed replaced due to it disintegrating and leaking after 14 years.
I’m going to tackle that and silicone turbo hoses in one unpleasant project.
Oh yeah. Tell me about it. Left that one a bit late - will probably fall apart when I remove. Will be plenty of snap, crackle, and pop when I get into this job (hence the wiring harness cloth tape).Quote:

That was my Indy's approach until they started seeing new ones split after only a couple of years. Their advice now is to either check for leaks on a regular basis or fit an alloy unit and be done with it.Quote:
