Hi I am hoping someone else has come across this problem and can help me
I had to change the thermostat on my freelander 1 which has a KV6 engine but where the radiator hoses join on to the thermostat and the elbow connectors I have leaks there , there is a conical seal ring in the radiator hoses which causes a water tight seal, I need to replace these seals but all the suppliers want to to buy the three radiator hoses which out out to over £100 when all I really need is a conical seal that fits inside the hoes and probably cost only a few pounds.
Anyone has any ideas as tohow buy these seals only
Thanks

 

As far as I know they don’t sell them separately.
Your best bet is to take the seal to your local hardware store and see if you can find anything that will work.
You could also try painting them with red RTV and putting them together, it’s a bit messy and it will make it hard to take back apart, but it should prevent leaking.
Good luck!
