L322 4.4i V8 bmw engine Radiator Hoses what make to go for

Willos · Oct 16, 2019

I have a very small weep on the lower hose so will replace before the artic winds blow I have decided to do the top hose as well . I would replace with genuine land rover ones but which is the best aftermarket ones
Ive looked at Gates and Bearmach . I rang Bearmach and they told me theirs were made in Turkey. What are the best OEM ones available. Ive been running the thermostat mod on my car and can say it has been great and i think it has more power.

BMW have a large number of items made in Turkey.

You'll see Made in Turkey on many OE LR parts.

With the way the BMW hoses connect using a plastic fitting and O ring inside, I have found some cheaper after market hoses dont seal properly.

Iv just ordered a bearmach one for mine top hose as the plastic push fit just separated at the water pump end plastic push fit just came apart

ive ordered the bearmach as they gave me another 10% off
Code is IMBACK10
Will be back to tell you what they are like
