All the boost hoses have clips on them, so I can't understand how they can put one on when there should be a clip on each end of every boost hose anyway.

Yes it's ok to drive, it'll just be smoky.

I'd replace all 4 of the boost hoses to ensure reliability.
The hoses decay over time, so replacement is a sensible thing to do.

It will most likely be one of these hose attached to the plastic part, what year is the FL2 you are just as well buying the whole part, so check the hoses for splits of clip loose holding the hoses on.

If it is one f the hoses you could drive it but it will most likely be in limp mode, or at least down on power.

As above double check the hoses, first before driving, if they al look ok, then maybe look at turbo?

Looking at first picture, standing in front of 58 plate freelander 2, the house is in the middle and very low down closer to the road, its about 5 inches in diameter and appears to run the full length of the engine from close to number plate to front seats,

That's the hose between the plastic link pipe and intercooler. View attachment 269997
Replacement requires removal of the front bumper. View attachment 269998 View attachment 269999
As this hose is impossible to remove from the intercooler, unless the bumper is out the way first. View attachment 270000

Been there, done that recently.

John.
Would it be possible to get to the intercooler and the jubilee clip from the wheel arch liner removal and washer bottle out of the way, not yet fitted a full section only the small hose which goes to the throttle body.

It's really difficult to get at, as there's just no way to get at the clip. Even with the front bumper removed, getting at the clip required a 7mm socket, and fitting the hose was a struggle, simply because of the very limited room.
From memory there's a structural member on 3 sides, with on the top being open, however it's so deep in the engine bay, there's no access from above.
It takes about 20 minutes to remove the bumper, so it's not as bad as it first appears.
