When I run my hand over all the pipes that’s only one that feels oily underneath and soft in comparison to the rest of the pipe and other pipes in the engine bay. Just doesn’t seem to be 100%. I’m picking up the part tomorrow and will change it the see how it goes over the next week and see if it makes a different. Looks a very awkward angle to do the clips but I may be surprised! Fingers crossed
I’ve discovered I was wrong it’s actually the hose running from the intercooler to the manifold! Found a 50mm split in it, taking the wrong hose back and getting it changed for the correct one tomorrow!
So nice knowing it’s so easily fixed especially something I can do myself easily! (And I’ve never done any work with cars before but Land Rover seem to be giant Lego sets ) Hate taking cars to garages and getting ripped off! The Land Rover specialist near me (brookwells) are literally amazing! Well priced and when I contacted them this afternoon to say I’ve bought the wrong pipe they have reserved me the correct one and I can just go and swap them tomorrow! Couldn’t have asked for better service!
Yeah I had realised it was in an impossible position I had planned on cutting it and putting the new one in a more sensible position so if it needs adjusting in the future I can!It's not actually an easy fix, but a fix it will be. You'll have to cut the clip off the intercooler end, as they are normally impossible to undo from above. You'll need a new clip on reassembly, making sure you orientate the worm drive to a place where you can get to it.
Also make sure you put a bit of an anti-clockwise twist in the hose, too keep it off the bolt on the front of the inlet manifold.
Good idea! Was thinking of a way of stopping this happen again!Also make sure you put a bit of an anti-clockwise twist in the hose, too keep it off the bolt on the front of the inlet manifold.
Cut a piece of the old hose up, to use as a superficial wearing surface, between the hose and bolt. Use tape to fix it to the hose.
Brilliant Cheers!Cut a piece of the old hose up, to use as a superficial wearing surface, between the hose and bolt. Use tape to fix it to the hose.
New hose is on, just finished drove it to make sure all was good and I could hear something, came back home and could see flecks of oil in the engine bay to realise I had over tighten the engine cover and snapped the thread, so the drive chain can be seen. Please tell me there’s a solution!
Everything seems to run fine and it’s driving fine but oil is being flicked everywhere in the engine as it comes off the chain
The bolt thread that as snapped has fallen in the engine bay somewhere and I cannot find it for the life of me! Any chance you know where I can source a cam cover?
