Hi guys,
after looking at my motor today i noticed that i have a diesel leak that look likes its coming from the injector. I looked at the injector washers on ebay , so ill order those and hopefully thats that. But i noticed that the inlet manifold that i need to take off doesn't have any gaskets, it just has the liquid gasket. So before i take it off i wanted to buy new ones, but cant find them? Any ideas?
Also i have a oil leak on a oil cooler pipe. So my other questions are, 1. are both pipes the same for me to order a new one. And 2. how hard is it to change them? any advice on all the jobs would be super super appreciated as im a RR newbie!
thanks in advance for your help.
Also i just checked and are these the correct washers i need? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-Ra..._CarParts_SM&hash=item41449c2e87#ht_840wt_907

thanks again.

Cant help with the injector seals as i've never changed them.
The oil cooler and pipes should be changed as a set.....the threads on the cooler usually strip if you try to change just the pipes.
Took me about 90 mins to change pipes and cooler.:)
Try island 4x4 for the bits you need
 
Try changing the leak off pipes first, you may find that is the problem. I had this with an Omega years ago and also with the Rangie in the summer and both times it was the leak off pipes.

I bought those inlet manifold gaskets for £20 ish last week from central auto supplies in Northampton. made by BGA - I'm sure most factors can get them.
 
Hi,

When I did my transmission oil pipes I stripped the thread off the aluminium cooler and had to fork out for a new one.

So when I did my engine oil cooler pipes I lifted the cooler up out of position whilst still connected to the pipes and then using a dremel I cut carefully through each side of the oil cooler pipe nut. I then seperated the nut and the thread underneath was fine.

It's only the very last thread that corrodes as it gets contact with water / salt and forms a galvanic cell with the steel nut / aluminium thread. You just need to cut the nut off so that you don't undo the nut and drag that damage through the rest of the thread. The cooler will then be ok to reuse saving you over a hundred quid.

:)

If yours has the BMW engine ask yourself why you would buy four sealing washers for a six cylinder engine. They are for the four cylinder engine in the Classic, Disco Etc. The inlet manifold is sealed by O rings. If it has a plastic manifold. The leak will be from the spill pipes.

by the looks of the comments (as i have a puddle around the injector) its the spill pipes. So i just bought some 3.5mm diesel spill pipe £2.90 for a mtr at my local motor shop, so im off to fit it. Fingers crossed.
And the manifold is not plastic im afraid. so gaskets it is! And i didn't even notice that there was only 4 washers, what a muppet. Sorry!
But back to my oil cooler pipes, one of them is actually split slightly on the hose as it looks like they have mixed up the pipes and put them in the wrong places (swapped positions) as it looks bent out of place slightly. So if i take them out will to replace, will i need to drain the oil out of my engine first? Or would the oil just pour out otherwise? Silly question i know but ive never done it before.
Thanks

No Need to drain the engine oil. If you are tight for cash and the metal parts of the cooler pipes ore not rusted to ferk, you can take the whole lot off the car with the cooler, take to to a hydraulic specialist and get new rubber tubes crimped on.
