New to this great forum. Boss just gave me a 2001 disco 11. This is one of the needed repairs and I am totally bummed the pics are gone. Anyway to get them up again?

Thanks

 

Here is the link directly to Josh's web page with the same pics he posted here, I believe.

TB Heater Repair - LAND ROVER CLUB V.I.

 

Found the link. great detail thanks

 

With not having any experience working on the LR I was amazed how easy the instructions were to follow and complete. I was completely surprized how clean I got the throttle body and have ordered the hoses and waiting for them to be delivered to install.

Thanks for the tutorial and pics

 

Anybody have any pics of where the hose from the throttle body goes down into the block? I cannot see down in there, looks like it just goes down in the the black hole. I have seen the sketches, but wondering what all has to come off to get to the inlet where the hose attaches to remove/replace the that short little hose coming from the throttle body?

 

Does this help? Also have cutaway drawing from RAVE attached.

 

Is there any benefit to ordering a throttle housing return pipe or can I just go with a 5/16 rubber fuel line?

 

I had a troublesome slow leak that caused me to add a couple hundred milliliters of coolant to the expansion tank every other week or so. Although I would occasionally see some drippings in the driveway, there wasn't much to go on - definitely no smoking gun. The other day when I got out of the truck, I noticed steam curling from the hood close to the driver's side door. When I lifted the hood, it was plain to see that coolant was leaking from the area of the throttle body heater. I think the leak finally opened up enough to be evident - even at that, only two or three drops a minute were falling onto the valve cover and/or manifold.

Ordered the kit and replaced - took me about 45 minutes after having reviewed the excellent write-up. I did not remove the throttle body. Interestingly, my throttle body heater and gasket appeared to be in good shape (nowhere near as trashed as the example in the write-up). Just goes to show that even the slightest damage or defect to a gasket or seating surface can result in a significant leak.

 

I was changing the throttle body heater pacl and while pushing the OLD and BRITTLE hose that goes into from the pacl to the block the whole thing borke off. After cutting open the hose, yup, the rusted nozzle (nipple) was still inside.

So ANY SUGGESTIONS as to how to deal with a hole dissapearing into the block? If I put sealent and a bolt and completley shutt off this coolant looop, will I cause huge problems?

Any thoughts welcome. Thanks to whoever was putting water in here instead of coolant.

 

Does anyone save a copy or link of Josh's step-by-step write up with the photos? Thank you in advance!
