AC Pipe & Tube from accumulator?
2003 LR Discovery SE
I must have had a rock thrown at my truck while on or off road this winter. Result is I have an indented pinhole(like something sharp hit it) at the pipe that leaves the accumulator(??) up front. I tried welding it and also tried epoxy and it still leaks from there. So it looks like it is a part that will need to be replaced. I tried looking in the manual and cannot find the part number; or what it is called.
Anyone have any tips?
Thanks

I contacted Atlantic British and they gave me the part number. So this is closed at this point because it was less than a hundred bucks and its on the way. For future reference (if anyone looks this up with a search here is the URL for the part. (JUE10823)

Spike,
No problem at all. I am glad I could share the part number. Installation was a pain in the butt. You basically have to take the left fender off, several items under the hood such as the entire air box and also the headlight housing. It took me 5 hours to install a pipe with 2 connectors and about 6 bends. Major issue is it came pre-bent so no matter how you turned it you could not install it. I had to bend it almost straight and gently bend it back into position. What a total pain. It works now and the AC is fully charged. Blowing like it did when I got it!
