Ordered a replacement (AMR2022) from John Craddocks eBay store £15 delivered (vs ...

Someone once said that modern electronics will be the rust of today's classic cars (words to that effect).

Look at the new defender / modern range rovers; electronic gremlins will be the issue tha ...

Thank you both.

The coolant appears to be leaking from between the cooler and the little thermostat housing; so I assume the o-ring has perished.

I've ordered part LR005894 - not sure whether ...

Hi all,

I'm leaking coolant from around the oil cooler on my 2011 2.4. Hopefully just the thermostate which I've ordered and will fit tomorrow.

If it's the cooler leaking, then I'm thinking ab ...
