Coolant Hose Removal
We developed a leak, a hole, in the lower elbow of our lower coolant hose. Seems like an easy fix but we cannot get to the clamp that holds the airbox tube/pipe to release it so we can move it out of our way to get to the coolant hose connections.
Anyone ever completed this task?

Is this the hose that's leaking?
I replaced mine when I remove the intake manifold to replace the Thermostat
Freel2.com - View topic - 3.2 Thermostat replacement
the part number is LR005564
If this isn't the correct hose then do you know the part number?
As for the clamp, pliers exist for removing this type of clamp but I use Channel lock pliers
Good Luck

No problem
I recommend that you replace the Thermostat, heat exchanger coolant hose and the leaking hose at the same time
Parts needed
LR006071 - Thermostat
LR001491 - Screw for Thermostat (Qty 4)
LR001442 - Coolant Hose for heat exchanger
LR000491 - Bolt for Heat exchanger hose
LR001505 - O-Ring for heat exchanger hose
LR005564 - Coolant Hose (because I'm paranoid)
Remember: the tip of the heat exchanger hose will be broken off and you need to remove it and the old O-ring from the block.
Good Luck

Upper coolant hose
i’ve searched until I’m blue in the face. How the heck do i remove the upper radiator hose on a 2008 LR2? It has some quick connector that i can get one hand on but can’t figure out what to do with it.

Inkstaind1,
That is a good result
It has been my experience that it is almost always better to know how to do the job even if you get someone else to do it.
It helps two ways
1- to prevent an unethical technician from over charging you
2- so that you understand why it cost $150 and not $5 and you are glad to pay it
I completely agree with your analysis $150 now is better then $200 every week
With that in mind here are two links that you may want to look into
The first is maintenance and repair items for older LR2's (Based on my research of what fails)
Freel2.com - View topic - Common items for high mileage 3.2
The second is my chronicle of Maintenance and Repair for my Volvo S80 that I bought with 125,000 miles (note: the Volvo uses the same engine and transmission as Land Rover, If I bought an 10 years old LR2 I would do the same work, plus a bit more due to the all wheel drive system)
