Hi Just joined and realised I put question on intro page
Please can anyone help, heard slight pop noise followed by black smoke out of exhaust, had similar problem recently caused by hose coming off, local garage put jubilee clip on hose and its been fine, this time, hose appears to be attached, anyone any ideas as to cause and how can I tell if its ok to drive to drive to local garage 5 miles away as some sites say its turbo and shouldn't be driven, last time I had car recovered to garage just in case
 
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?

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.:confused:

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. ;)

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.

Replacement requires removal of the front bumper.

As this hose is impossible to remove from the intercooler, unless the bumper is out the way first.

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. i have a full spare in the shed somewhere it's been there since Nov 2021

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.

Hi John.
Great something i may do when i feel like it or if i am forced too, by a split hose :eek:

Just replaced the intercooler to throttle body pipe and managed to dislodge this thin pipe whist doing so. Does anyone know where it attaches to please?

That hose goes on a spigot on the bottom of the fuel filter, then just hangs down.

I think originally it would have been held by a clip on the dip stick tube, but most likely long gone by now.

My previous FL2 didn't even have the hose.

On my current one I've cable tied that hose to the plastic intake trunking.
