Yesterday morning I was changing the glow plugs on the rangerover p38 (2.5 voice manual) , and all went well until I noticed a small water leak on the cylinder head upon further inspection the hose and connection were burst the connection is the one closest to the bulk head so any help would be most helpful a don't know where to start looking To find a new connection piece it's ribbed on one end that the hose connects to and small ribs on the end that goes into the head

Do you mean it has frozen and split? Or just come out of the head??

Split and came out of head but not frozen ! It looks like it has been pressed into the head or hammered in !

Outlet stubs are cryogenically inserted. Stub is frozen head is warmed. Then stub inserted. If you can get a suitalby sized stub made up there are products available to stick it in with.

Two part high temp Epoxy such as JB weld is one, products from Loctite will also do it for you.
