Canada Post strike and hose layout help!

[@peterjohnson2245]

Been raining all day here, Ill do a video of the layout for you in the morning. I must admit I decided to alter the lengths of some of the pipes for a nicer fit.

[@tomphillips968]

The pipe shapes are designed to fit in indentations in the fan shroud. BTW my Land Rover fettling has improved since I got a workshop coat like yours.

Thanks!

Just checked this morning. Your hose lay out is correct. I thought the rad hose lays on top but i was wrong.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Yeah, I was a bit confused as I have not seen one of these layouts for 7 years and was wondering if I had Discovery parts!

[@AnthonyTeasdale]

Yep, that top hose looks correct, there would be a massive fan duct normally.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks!

[@davechalinor5586]

Looks right top rad hose is longer to avoid cowl ..cut 20mm out of it for sensor for fan ..same as mine roughly except mines disco 1 200tdi ..hoses are super tight ..bit of wd40 on finger rubbed inside works a treat ..good luck

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Right on

Postal strike, I think UK Royal Mail has been on strike since Covid : )

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Glad we were informed of Canada Post being on strike, or we would never have known. Striking for better pay and conditions. CP is government run so they will cave in and give them what they want, but I cannot see how conditions can improve - maybe less snow in winter?

[@TriumphT100T]

@ I only use DHL these days, bloody expensive but so much better! R380 cost 500 quid from UK to Sweden, had to pay 200 quid extra remote charge but arrived in 4 days.

[@gchubb]

Also the 90 degree rubber hoses are a pain to get on

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks! They seem too long for me - I have not seen a genuine 200Tdi for years, but the original hoses seemed to be more flexible

[@noelbishop5153]

Do you spray wd 40 to lubricant the hose? Works a charm

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Yes

[@jamescaron6465]

So nice of Canada Post to strike right at this time. I guess FedEx DHL and UPS will get more business

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I just received an email this afternoon stating UPS is putting up prices by 5.5% More to come A rising tide lifts all ships!

Here we go! Back to the 70's with high inflation - never works out well when governments print or borrow money

[@jamescaron6465]

@@BritannicaRestorations I remember those days. Reagan once said inflation isn't because people are living well, it is because government is living well. They just can't help themselves. They never learn.

Keep an eye on the gold prices...

Hi. Top rad hose goes above the intercooler pipe. I had to push the metal pipe a bit lower to let rad hose sit right. I have a 91 Defender 110 sw. Hope that helps. Greetings from the UK

[@BritannicaRestorations]

This is my problem - I think it is too high, but things seem to line up

[@AnthonyTeasdale]

@@BritannicaRestorations Everything looks like it is sat correct in your video.

[@ralphdadge302]

My 200tdi top hose sits almost alongside the intercooler metal top pipe,
