So I get inro the disco this afternoon tondrive it to the workshop to do some work on it (waste gate change)
As I'm pulling up I notice steam...great blwon radiator..only to discover a hose has split in half. No idea what it's called so hoping someone might know so I can order a spare as I can't drive home without it. Failing a replacement its getting taped up :s

Back to your blown radiator hose. We had the same problem with the top hose (the expensive one) blowing off a week after I had changed the rad (which also looked suspiciously blown). Cutting to the chase, the root cause was the expansion tank cap not releasing pressure when it should. If your coolant drops about 1/2" when you top it up, I would change the car for one from a LR Dealer. Since I did that the coolant hasn't budged in 6 months and being based in Oz, that coolant is working really hard.
