My t hose connector broke. Can't find a part locally. I was thinking of going to lowes to buy pvc t connector at least as a temporary fix. Problem of course is there will be no bleeder

Does it really need to have a bleeder or will the pvc repair work?

 

Yes, it HAS to have the bleeder! Without the bleeder, there will be no way to purge the trapped air in the system from refilling. This could cause overheating and engine failure. Order the right part, even if you have to wait a few days.

Check with these sources:
Lucky8
Rovers North
Atlantic British

 

Tried searching on Atlantic British can't find. Is it called something else?

 

Radiator Hose (Genuine Part # PCH000460): Land Rover Discovery II Radiator Top Hose

 

Ordered that part
