    That looks like the hose that goes from the bottom of the radiator to the supplementary single row radiator that sits in front of the condenser and feeds the fuel cooler.

    The reason I commented is when we bought the Antichrist it came with a built in coolant leak. The Indi suspected that hose, so replaced it at great expense (it wasn't the only leak as it turned out). The leak actually turned out to be a pinhole in the cooler just past the bit the hose connects to, so I bypassed it. I have a new one waiting for installation at the next coolant flush.

    This went back to the mechanics several times for this leak, and when they obtained the hose they commented they'd never seen one of these coolers before. I assumed it was an oddity of the vehicle (seeing as it had all the UK fruit + DPF), so I was surprised to hear it was on some Aus spec vehicles also.
