Hi, I have just purchased an Intercooler Hose Replacement Kit (BRITPART) for my 2012 Freelander 2.
The top flexible section of the hose system (at the manifold end) has an obvious crack and is oily; we are experiencing poor acceleration and getting an intermittent engine fault light & "Reduced Engine Performance" message.
I can get at the top section of the hose and should be able to fit the new section (two jubilee clips) .
My question: Is it possible to fit the entire Hose Replacement Kit (from intercooler to manifold) without removing the bumper and front cross member?
Any on-line videos available only show the top section replacement. Seeing as I have purchased the entire kit, it would be nice to fit it all.
Hopefully there is someone out there who has experienced this, as it seems to be a fairly common fault.
Many thanks in advance.
Greetings from Ireland.

P.S. I have been quoted €550 to supply and fit the kit by a main dealer! - hence the use of Dr. Google...
