AT cooler lines (hoses) replacement - Land Rovers Only

daway · 12-14-2006, 12:19 PM

i have a small leak coming from the cooler to transmission (front) and
cooler to radiator, right were the rubber hose connects to the steel hose. i was wondering how hard of a job is it to change the hoses w/ my dad. i have looked in our LR work manual. is this something that i should have the LR indy shop do? they said it would be $545.00!! (w/ parts, labor, and taxes) for all four hoses (hoses included: cooler to trans front, cooler to trans rear, cooler to radiator, radiator to trans.). any tips and etc from u members would b great. the tech at the shop that i called said not to let it go to long or the pressure and the leak might blow the hose after time. that almost happened to his 95 rrc. my leaks are dripping about a size of a quarter every 3 day or so.

How hard can it be, other then the difficulty of the location.
Maybe an air bubble?
Change the filter while empty.

Let the list know.
