So my FL2 is 11 years old 75k miles, still has the original int and turbo hose's fitted all bone dry no oil contamination, as I am a believer in prevention is better than cure I was thinking of replacing them all with Silicone,

Has anyone fitted the Britfart ones and are they any good? not really a fan of Britfart but cannot see how they can be inferior to other hoses after all Silicone is Silicone?

Also has anyone changed the bottom intercooler hose without removing the front bumper? I was thinking access could be gained by just removing the washer resevoir?

Or on the other hand if it aint broke don't fix it ! 2013 FL2 XS.

I've fitted them.
Seem quite decent quality. I've only been able to get them for the intake manifold side however.
I've never managed to change them without removing the bumper but I can have it off in about 15 minutes. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I don't rate the Britpart hoses. My intake pipe replacement only lasted a year.

That looks like a quality item, supposedly kevlar reinforced but only one of the two required. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
