Is fitting a throttle body on a d2 v8 an easy job? Mine is leaking coolant.

At the risk of sounding stupid how do you join two rubber hoses?

either with a connecting piece of plastic and jubilee clips or if the hose is like the one on my 3.5, remove the hose and just replace it with a single U bend

with a piece of pipe they both fit over , youd need to remove plenum to get to under side to fix leak propely

I have no idea what the plenum looks like on a D2 but if the top piece is like the 3.5 then it can be done without taking it off

I just unclipped the coolant hoses and joint them together on mine, didn't need to take the body off at all

oh well in that case I have no idea if it was leaking before or not I just joined all the hoses together which I didn't need. Heater matrix and the plenum one basically so less hoses less leak points

If I join them together will it stop the warm air from coming into the cab?

I should have said earlier its leaking from the heater plate at the bottom of the throttle body.

If you're going to replace it, make sure you use the updated version - MGM000010K
