I have just had the same problem and to keep me on the road I have simply with hacksawblade cut the hoses off closest to the rear and used copper pipe and compression elbows and stainless hose clips to bypass the rear. I like the idea of getting around to bypassing the rear pipes with hoses. Have you any photos of the route you took and if you had to protect the hoses from rubbing? Thanks

Hi. I didn't get any pics. I just remember finding the route across fairly obvious.
I started from the rear left wheel arch, at the rear heater pipes, and fed each pipe over the subframe then over the rear over the propshaft. There are other pipes and cables over the propshaft there, so you can cable tie the new pipes. I used 4 or 5 there to ensure it wouldn't foul the propshaft. Then it's an easy route to the 2 pipes underneath the right sill to join it all up.
The whole job took and hour or so. Must be nearly a year since I did it, and I've had no problems at all.
Good luck!! 👍

Many thanks

How confident are you in it being 16mm? 😂
I’d quite like to order the pipe in before I put mine on the ramp…
Cheers Rich

I had the same leak at the rear, from these crappy ally pipes on my 2016 4.4. Fixed for £50.

1. Identify the leaking pipe and follow it along where it comes in from the inner sill underneath the drivers side half way back. Cut the 2 ally pipes where they come in from the sill.

2. Remove rear wheel arch liner from the other side (passenger side). Identify the same 2 ally pipes, feed and return, going into the heater. Cut them off to about 4 inches.

3. Buy 4 metres of 16mm (measure to check size) coolant pipe to fit over the Cut ends.

4. Attach the new pipe to the Cut ends under the wheelarch and feed across the car, routing as required. There's different ways of routing without nipping the pipes.

5 fix the pipes with clips/ strong cable ties at sensible points to secure, under the car.

6. Cut and fix the new pipes where you've cut the ally pipes at the inner sill on the drivers side.

7. Bleed coolant as required.

Took about 2 hours or so, and most of the ally pipe is bypassed.

8. No problems/leaks since doing it 6 months ago.

My 2018 4.4 with 62K mls has developed this leak, and I assume it’s from same spot as mentioned on this thread. Also found puddle underneath rear driver passenger seat. I’m going to call LR assistance out tomorrow and see if they can get the car into MD quicker and hopefully covered under warranty. Also hoping LR assistance can provide a replacement vehicle while mine is being repaired.

What’s strange is I topped up 1litre of coolant after getting low coolant level warning 2 was ago. I’ve been checking at regular intervals, level was slightly dropping. Last checked on Saturday and level was middle of min-max, didn’t drive the car other than taking out of drive and back again and then when I started this morning I got Low Coolant Level warning, reservoir was bone dry to eye, It took full 1litre again.
So don’t understand why the coolant would be leaking slowly over 2wks while doing 200 motorway miles and then suddenly empty the reservoir?

It is fairly standard size coolant pipe. I replace mine a while back running from just behind the front wheel under the sill back to the rear left pipes in the wheel well area.



Red dots mark which pipe is the same. V8 or else ...
