New Intercooler planned

Hi folks, I will be getting a new improved Intercooler for my 2006 RRS 2.7 in a couple of weeks time. Should I really look to fit new silicone pipes at the same time, thanks in advance. 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

Hi, I think its a RS500.....Mikey has already done my EGR's and the car was remapped by one of the previous owners. The car runs great, just trying to help and prolong the engine as its done 120K but runs like a dream (touch wood) 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

Mine's just a straight pipe, and wasn't picked-up on at the MOT. It's not the most visible location; if it does get spotted, I'll just hide it, as they aren't allowed to remove covers etc. Wink Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

My friend has an MOT station so might just go down this road, I will speak to Mikey when he comes down, just depends on cost and if I can hide from Mrs. 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

I'm sure Mike will be thrilled at the prospect... Whistle

It's not expensive (my pipe was £90 in a DISCO3 group buy) or complex to fit, but the manifold nuts can be stuck, and you don't want a stud snapping... Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Hi, we were thinking of trying a few weeks ago but I had to come offshore a week early so will do when I get back. As I said I am trying to look after the engine as best I can but also have a wee bit more poke. If I get this work done I think I will have exhausted everything to do lol thanks for your advice.
