A ball park idea of the condition would be good!

Thanks for pointing that out, it would have been helpful ! For its age its in average condition , no dents, some scratches but nothing major. I am at a watershed moment, as I can't find a reliable garage to repair the leaks and vibration issues associated with the ACE system. When it works , its great, as an ageing system though to get the high pressure isolator fitted, with an LR manufactured/spec, pipe , which isn't made by LR now, is impossible. I love driving the vehicle but to keep it on the road is taking up a lot of time and money. Its difficult to call it a day with the car though, hence reaching out for advice.

Thank you for your advice. I would like to keep it but I don't have unlimited funds and time, hence reaching out for advice. Apart from the ACE issues, which when it works is great, there are no other issues.

If it was me I'd take the pipe in question off and take it to a specialist pipe company, who would make one up for you for not much money. Using the same fittings.
This thread may prove useful to you.
Disco 2 - Ace Pipes
Today I discovered that my rear fecking ace pipe has split and I'm leaving a nice little trail of fluid wherever I go. With the help of my mate who is a plumber, we have a plan to fix it with 10mm copper pipe and compression fittings. However, there is a chance it won't work. My real question...

You won't sell it for a decent price unless it is fixed anyway.

Yes I have done exactly that. Its circa £650 for the modified block, but installing and fitting new pipes .... its getting north of £1200. All facts to consider

You could do an ACE delete, replacing it with standard anti roll bars for less money. They were standard on the lowest specced models, so no problem for altering your V5c if indeed you even have to, as it isn't really a modification.
Although I don't know if you have the third row seats. If you do then it may not be so easily on the cards.
Mine is a GS with no 3rd row seats which is why I'd do this if the problem arose on mine.
I have driven mine with the Ace locked up and down our very steep and twisty mountain road. It drops 260 metres in a distance that takes less than 10 minutes to drive, hairpins galore and your ears pop twice. I would have had to have driven like a maniac to have noticed the difference.
