hi all well the leak is fixed well in a way it is fixed. I went into landrover to buy a coolant pipe and on the way out the sales man who knows me said I have just the car in for you , he showed me a Freelander face lift model 2006 model hse so the hose cost me £7 and I dare not say on here in case the wife see it, picking it up on Tuesday and they said they would fix the leek ooops sorry again leak

You sound just like my son, he repairs everything with a new one.

well I have had this one nearly 9 years and at 173000 miles on her I think it is about time
