Update: I started it this morning and chugged and smoke from back and first time ever it stalled, it seems to be not ticking over properly, I went 10 mile and thought warmed up be smooth but no it's still hesitate,. |

I have no idea about your issue but when my ACE pipes needed changing I didn’t lift the body, I bought some 3500bar couplers from the local agriculture machinery supplier and cut the pipes and fitted them that way. Some have managed to fit them without even cutting them but I didn’t have enough room.

What pressure do the ARC hoses run at?

I think max operating pressure is 350bar. I only went for 3500bar as they were stainless and 20p each dearer.

Mine corroded under drivers side where it went through chassis, cost £800 total. Yesterday started and stalled first thing then ran ok until pulling at my destination it was idling erratically making it bounce up and down, slow charged and tested battery just incase, left there -1 degrees at every junction and traffic lights stalled😭😭😭 |

£800 isn’t as bad as I was expecting, I would have guessed at over £1000 so that’s not to bad.

I actually think your right Brit Plumber, today car started ok went and bought diesel cleaner and maf cleaner done both and tonight started perfect and nice drive home no problems at traffic stops then last turn let the power off and stalled in the road to oncoming traffic, it was scary as when it stalled steering locked and Bering wrong way. |

I'm not sure why but I think it was impossible to access as leaks was under drivers door going through chassis.

I've got a leak from the same area and I'm thinking that doing the same as you might be the best way forward (I was thinking of only replacing the one leaking pipe but in truth they're all a bit crusty so replacing the lot might be the best way. Are any of those in your image under pressure at all, or is it simply a case of cut pipes, catch fluid that drains out, fit couplings, refit new pipe and top up system? |

Without the engine running, any pressure will dissipate in no time. If the car isn’t moving then the fluid under pressure is returned to the reservoir. The valve block only opens to allow pressure to the appropriate roll bar if the roll sensor commands it. I made a set up to bleed the system but most don’t bother and I found only a small amount of air bled off after I’d driven it for a few days anyway.

Sorry to reactivate this thread, but those couplings look neat, and no doubt saved a load of money.

Yes that’s correct, I could have probably just cut out the bad section of pipe and fitted 2 couplers and a new section, but it thought it would only be a matter of time before the next section failed, so I replaced them all with genuine pipes and just cut where I wanted each coupler. You can see I cut the pipes in a way to off set each one (to give space for the spanners) and align them in a tidy fashion, it’s what Land Rover should have done really. 2012 5.0 SC AB
