P38A Help Identifying A Part

Afternoon Everyone.

I have seem to be loosing water rather quickly from the header tank, I am topping up from half empty every three or four days.

I believe I have spotted the fault but I need some help to identify the part reference so I can order a new one.

It's (I think) it's a coolant pipe, I have pointed to it in the pictures attached, it's pretty obvious as it's the pipe with the corroded end.

I have tried to ID the part on the online microcat website but it's not easy and I don't know if I am looking at the right part.

I would love to get this done as it goes in for it's MOT next week, plus coming up to Christmas it's going to be hard to get parts.

Thanks very much in advance.

John

Sorry a bit of info on the engine, it's a 4.6 V8 X reg (2000) P38 Range Rover.

No lol sorry mate you miss understand, I posted that so people new which engine I was talking about and the age of Rangy so they could better ID the part I am looking for.

Thanks for the post though.

It's the throttle body heater. New plate and gasket and some Hylomar. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-MGM000010K

Guys your legends, I might as well as replace the pipe whilst I'm at it as it is corroded is there a reference for that.

Thanks again guys life savers.

John.

I think I have found it, I have posted a picture of a diagram I found, I think it's number 4 on the description, it's named as the "Throttle Housing Return Pipe".

Does that sound about right.

Cheers

John

yes 3 and 4 are both hoses for the throttle body heater

Sweet, I will get the parts ordered.

Big thanks for the help everyone.

Have a good Christmas and may the force be with you

No probs, just don't tell @C4SPA or @jjtech56 as they like to believe we are the Devils work!

lol yes I will keep it quiet

Haha, we're all dealing with this just now it seems.

whats that finding parts or a leaking coolent pipe.

You can just see the bypass done on mine by a previous owner, seeing as its a common failure/repeat failure at that bypass it with no ill effect with a bit of silicon pipe
