Was the clip that was removed to hold the pipe from moving or was just a clip to hold the plastic sheave ?

My point of the thread was to warn owners about the expense and difficulties in removing the rear cradle to replace these rear pipes! Mine happened @ 4yrs old and wasn’t covered under the JLR used car warranty scheme!

I've done one of these, and if you do it the right way the job is not as hard as some might think.

They covered ours @5+ Years old without hesitation, How could they not cover a coolant leak?! Corrosion or something? Sold - Bell a 2015 MY16 Loire Blue Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 Previously George a 2007 MY07 Java Black VSE 3.6 TDV8 Previously a 04 MY04 Defender 90 |

Don't shoot the messenger sir... I know not why they would not cover this? or indeed if i was being fed the correct information! Cheltenham Heritage MD were the dealership that told me i should ready myself for the bill if & when warrenty rejected it! They could have been feeding me a croc of for all i know!

Is it possible to see these pipes by removing the rear wheel and the plastic liners or do you need to remove the exhaust and fuel tank? |

For someone with no technical mind whatsoever ... Where do you look to see this? And do you need to remove anything? I've started getting the "low coolant" warning and this seems an obvious place to look. That said, the car had it's oil cooler replaced before I bought it, so it could be leaking round there. What do I put here then? |

I would start by topping up the coolant with the correct type, then monitor and fill for a week or so of normal driving. It’s possible that when the cooler was changed the system wasn’t bled properly and you are seeing the system bleed itself….. failing that start looking for the rear coolant pipe…..

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

If it's the same pipe leaking as mine, it goes to the rear heater unit which is in the left side of the boot behind the carpeted panel.
