Technical Bulletin 190 Airway Blvd., Livermore, CA. 94551. Phone 925-606-8301/Fax 925-606-8302 Date: November 1, 2000 (up-dated 8/2006) Subject: Oil Cooler Hose Replacement, 3.9/4.0L V8 Vehicle: Range Rover 1989-95, Discovery 1994-99, Def 90/110. WARNING: This warning that could possibly save you from serious injury and damage or loss to your Rover, such as burning to the ground! We have found that the rubber portion of the ENGINE OIL COOLER pipe/hose combination (2-each) can over time become hard and brittle... at speed these hoses can, and have burst! The end result is hot motor oil spraying the exhaust system, which can the ignite the oil. In some case cars have burned to the ground! This same WARNING applies to P/S (x3) and A/T cooler hoses. Any vehicle over 8-years old or over 90,000 miles should have these hoses Inspected and Replaced. Note: Eurospare UK makes/sells replacement hoses for the Defender V8, the problem is... theses hoses are approx +.080" wider at the banjo fitting than Genuine LR, and since they are not supplied with new banjo bolts and washers, they will NOT fit, as the genuine LR banjo bolts will be too short. Suggest you buy Genuine hoses or make custom one from your hoses.
