    Hi there. Do you have the part number for the vacuum line from your post from 2013? I am struggling to find the part and have a crack in the hose on mine. Thanks

    Hello one and all - I'm from near Wool in Dorset. Have a facelift 2004 freelander 1. Am getting to grips with the RAVE manual and am quite used to playing about with engines.... the KV6 however seems to be a fickle little beast. Rest of the car is in quite good nick - need a bodywork repair on...

    From the RAVE " Vacuum Enhancer System Vehicles from 2003 model year – The vacuum enhancer solenoid valve is no longer fitted to vehicles from 2003 model year onwards. On these vehicles the solenoid valve is removed, but the venturi valve and associated piping is retained. On this system the...

    The breather pipe I picture is 100% correct for my throttle body. It plugs into the rubber section before the metal air intake using a 90' white plastic connector. Your intake (the metal part just behind the induction kit where the jubilee clip slack sticks up a little) has a plug to attach the...

    OK found another picture of a FL with the same set up on this forum https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http://freelander.spybb.ru/viewtopic.php?id=768&edit-text=&act=url http://co.forum4.ru/uploads/0000/d3/70/24135-5-f.jpg Which has taken me full...

    Trust me I am. Will strip it down as much as I can. I have the usual leaking thermostat housing issue anyway and will be doing the cam belt so I might just do it all in a oner and see how bad it all is.

    Am doing - I just didn't think it could be *that* wrong...... apparently it is. Not happy with the chap I bought this from. Not happy at all.

    Currently yellow is connected to the vacuum hose connector at the bottom front of the engine... the red is connected to where the right hand side of the standard vacuum hose is meant to be connected (directly down from red, small circular red connector as seen in your image.

    Right.... so that pipe I have is rubbish and I need the front vacuum pipe and one of these! http://workshop-manuals.com/landrover/freelander_(ln)/v6-2.5l/engine_cooling_and_exhaust/engine/intake_manifold/component_information/diagrams/page_1493/ Ha - got there in the end. I hate to think about...

    Oooookay. The vacuum pipe going left definitely does go somewhere and the breather pipe is also different to those posted or described. Descriptions on pictures. I think looking at it that it is a factory part (2004 V6 sport) and unplugging that left side seems like a very bad idea.

    Freelander 1 2004 KV6 weird vacuum hose

    Thanks for all the great info - I've see the pipe that Nodge has mentioned which goes from the lower connector at the front of the engine (next to the breather pipe connector) that doesn't have the throttle body so I will get one of those. If I'm lucky the pipe that splits left doesn't go...

    This is what I am worried about - there are literally no references to the pipe I have - proabably has been bodged. Looks like I need to take it apart and figure out what on earth they've done. Probably someone who didn't want to buy the official part so just made their own :(

    Hi all - new to the forum - I am looking for a part number for a vacuum hose that looks different to every manual and picture I've seen, Most it seems go from the bottom and then right, whereas mine goes bottom, right AND left. As you can see I've bodged a repair as the previous owner cracked...
