I have downloaded axle twisters file on disco parts but only get the first 20 sheets and I can't find what I am looking for.
I need a number for the pipe from the bottom of the expansion bottle for a 2003 TD5, mine has rubbed a hole in itself on the positive battery cable and I am losing coolant.
I did find PCH000360 in Britpart but can't tell if this is right?
Thanks,
JAK..

easiest fix is to cut the pipe at the hole and put a bit of copper pipe in then jubilee clip it
 
If you really require the part number PM me with your VIN number.
I'll look it up on Microcat. - I'm retired so need something to keep me occupied, when I'm not fixing my own Disco.
They truly are a labour of love.

Thanks for this but my pipe is at the back of the tank below the double pipes in the picture, it is rigisd plastic with mesh shielding and runs forward beside the battery, across the front of the engine and into a metal section of pipe?
Can anybody identify this pipe?
Thanks again.
 
Also had a problem with this rigid, small bore black plastic coolant pipe. This pipe (part # PCH001360) goes from the bottom of the expansion tank to the EGR cooler at the front of the engine; the pipe also has a protective sleeve over it, likely to protect it from chaffing. I noticed leaking OAT coolant recently and then noticed that part of the sleeve had worn away on the underside and there was a tiny hole in the plastic pipe where OAT coolant under pressure was leaking (16 years of chaffing - 2003 Disco 2). The same chaffing occurs with the HP diesel pipe from the in-tank fuel pump (the four diesel fuel pipes connecting to the in-tank fuel pump are the same small bore, rigid black plastic). I recently fitted a new HP diesel pipe and wrapped it in anti-chafe tape and then put a sleeve around it for good measure - that HP diesel line has chaffed through three times in 16 years - no more, fixed properly this time!

I noticed the coolant pipe (PCH001360) can be picked up for around $60, but I decided to wrap the area around the offending tiny hole with "Rustoleum Leak Seal Tape" - will see how this goes (has worked elsewhere for me - good for liquid and gas). For extra insurance from future chaffing I applied some anti-chafe tape as well and then the protective sleeve.

I've used a fair bit of anti-chafe tape on electrical wire conduit and other lines on the Disco 2 - chaffing of fluid lines and electrical wires is clearly something you need to be aware of!
