To everyone who's taking a interest in this thread - which from what Craig points out IS A MUST

so I thought I would make things a bit easier

Part 1: BUY THE UNIT
Part 2: Get the O Rings sourced at correct size at let everyone know where to obtain theses ( will take a bit of time - but I am on it )

Posted so you can see the part and whats what:

Thanks for this excellent info.
Pictures speak better than 1000 words.
I will be sending for new O rings as soon as info available.

Im pretty sure looking at the pics above that the other ends may well go to the Turbo’s??? If so, to change the pipe would be a huge amount of work indeed...

Very expensive just for 2 new seals too So well worth the guys above looking into their space age replacement seals please

I read what you say - but the whole;e point of me buying the part and uploading the pictures:

The guy at LR HQ informs me this is a MK2 version from what was NOT on the vehicles that left the factory !!!!!!!

We need to know on here - Why have they made a MK2

What is the difference ( as there usually is one )

Surely FFRR owners who love there car ( not just driving them in the ground ) - would want to know what difference - WHY ????

I await your comments and pictures from a OLD MK1 version - how they differ !

I am away at work later so will pickup this up on my return - happy FFRR driving in the mean time - cheers guys

Ahh... Sorry sir

The parts diagram shows the pipe supplying the RH turbo but I'm unsure if the other end is for the LH turbo, but academic if only changing the o-rings.

You do have to wonder why some idiot designed it with two banjo bolts that really just don't leak, and then one "O" ringed fixing that is held on one side only and looks like it's engineered to leak...

The ends of the Mk2 pipe won't be different, I'd put my money on the lagging on the pipe, maybe they have found that heat in a particular place is aerating the oil in the pipe and depriving the turbos, or whatever else they are connected to, of oil.

Can't see they would change it for the oil seals either, since when have JLR done anything to stop oil leaks....!!!!

Just my 2p  Pete

In order to use the o-rings from the new pipe on the old pipe the groove depths have to be the same and the old pipe's groove width adequate in case a change in o-ring size was introduced.

The new o-rings look grey not the usual black of general purpose o-rings, suggesting a change of compound. My money is on a change to Viton o-rings.

Gents,
I have located a specialist O ring supplier eapseals.com who are based only 4 miles from my home in Oldham.
They offer a measuring service and have a minimum order limit of only £2.
They supply O rings in several different materials including Viton.

If Craig is willing to post me a new eBay cheapy of the size he is currently fitting to the old pipe
I will take it to them and purchase some made from Viton (or alternative material if they recommend one once I have shown them the printout of the thread and explain the problem.
I will then send Craig a few so he can fit them and we will all know a supplier and what size we need to purchase.

Craig, I will PM my address if you are willing to send me a sample cheapy.

I think that it's possible to see the problem!

On the original the I rings don't fill the grooves, thus have space to compress and fail. On the pic of the new part you can see they have fattened up the orings to fill up the grooves as well as possibly changing the material. No space left in the grooves leaves no room for the rings to compress, hence less leaks!

I would bet that Land Rover do a service kit for this pipe, they do one for the dipstick tube/drain at the bottom of the engine. So why not for this, with the new O rings in it! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

A service kit seems most appropriate. Just because no service kit was available late 2012 when my copy of the parts catalogue was released doesn't prevent the introduction of a previously non-existent service kit. The replacement part did not exist at that time either.

lets ask Dan.....

No service kit was available when i checked a few months back...

A close-up of the original fitting and o-rings suggests that they are not black, indeed much the same colour as those on the new pipe, so may not have been upgraded. If they are already Viton then perhaps the single attachment bolt is indeed allowing the fitting to flex causing the o-rings to wear. The fitting's face on the opposite side to the bolt appears to be shiny whereas the bolt side is not shiny, suggesting there has been movement. Shiny areas can be seen on the nose of the cleaned fitting, again suggesting movement has been occurring.
