The lower transmission cooler line (hose part) ruptured the other day. Talked to Atlantic British and was told they don't carry the lower transmission cooler line and it has been obsoleted/no-longer-manufactured.
I have the Land Rover part # as UBP101141.
Does anyone have advice about this repair/replacement?

A few observations from our forum:

A friend with show cars told me this is not a high pressure line like the power steering. Is there another repair for the flex section anyone recommends? Would I be out of line to cut the old flex section out and just put in a new section and hose clamp it in place...seems a little clugy, but...

Thanks, any and all. "Punisher" has been good to me, for the most part, but a part that is no longer made by LR with the vehicle not being very old (OK, 12 yrs)...now has 105k miles and running strong.

This is in my profile/signature, but here it is again for convenience:
2004 Discovery II, HSE, 4.6l gas V8.

 

The transmission cooler pump is low pressure so therefore the hoses are as well so no worries.

 

Try Rovers North Parts for Series, Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, LR2, LR3 & Accessory Lines - Home Page - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts They might have what you're looking for.

 

Rovers North does not have any in stock and has no plans to get any.

I'm coming up empty on the US dealer's parts departments. Should I start branching out to UK sources? Never done that before...

Have you tried Trevor at RovahFarn? He sources his parts from the UK

 

Here is a used option. If they have any in stock.

LAND ROVER A/T OIL COOLER GEAR BOX LOWER HOSE DISCOVERY II 2 UBP101141 USED | Miami British Corp.

 

I have one. $60 plus shipping

 

The cooler lines are on the discharge side of the transmission so the fluid is on it's way to the pan where it is essentially at atmospheric pressure. You can cut the hard line and either use compression fittings to transition to a ****** fitting and hose or you could just clamp the hose to the hard line with 2 clamps.

Edit: Too funny. The site blocks the word for a fitting with ridges on it that connects to a hose but doesn't block butt plug or hell. Classic.

 

How about lucky8?

 

I had my hose start leaking and could not find a replacement. I took the pipe off and took it to a local hydraulic hose shop, $45 to replace the flexible piece. I did manage to get the pipe off without dropping transmission, I removed the exhaust to give me access to the nut on the transmission end.
