Diesel Cooler leak
As the title, I have a diesel leak around the cooler somewhere
Simple question(s) to start with: If I remove the complete cooler from the car, will the remaining connections on the car leak? If this is the case, whats the best way to stop them leaking? I've seen a 'new' cooler on ebay (£150+p&p) is that a good price? Is it worth having one to do a simple sway over, then look to repair the old one? SteveN

It is usually one of the hoses leaking or the valve, which you can replace with one from a Freelander 1 TD4 with the same engine, it resides in the engine bay on the FL1 so does not get damaged. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402365807439 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402298551190 You should be able to takes the hoses off and not lose to much fuel, same for the valve. Few links below to read. https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=172055 https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=206832

Thanks Steve,
I stuck my head under the car last night and everything is covered in diesel, hence my thoughts on pulling the cooler out completely to work on it. Also I suffer badly with diesel fumes, they make me physically sick (obvious then that I would have a diesel car!!! ) Thanks for the links. PS. I assume that as this is in the return line to the tank, any air that gets in during the repair will subsequently clear to the tank when the car is next started?

It look to be ok so does this one below.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204031279305 Spray your with engine gunk cleaner, and then jet wash it off and you should find the leaking hose most of the time it's the end of the hoses that have flared with age, you can trim them and refit with a good jubilee clip.

Hopefully you've sorted it mate, a couple of the connections can be tricky.

Hi Andy,
Yeh, they were probably the ones I gave up on, couldn't get my stubby fingers in there. I ended up cutting some of the old pipes on the cooler. Between the 'T' and the valve, also the 'T' and the upper connetion to the cooler, plus the larger connection to the valve. Then able to slide the cooler out of the plastic frame. Remove the frame and the rebuilt the new cooler in situ. Diesel down my arm, coat.......
