Boris113 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Try Tim Fry Land Rovers in Cheltenham, Bourton Land Rovers in Bourton-in-the-Water or Ellisons in Ashton Keynes Harry Quote
theoptimist Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 brilliant thank you already tried tim frys waiting for a reply at the moment can only sell the it with all the fuel lines as apparently it is a job to get it to seal. Quote
Boris113 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 No worries If you get really stuck you can always try TH White near Wootton Bassett, but prepare yourself for main stealer prices. Harry Quote
FridgeFreezer Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Can you not bodge/bypass it, it's only for diverting fuel round the cooler isn't it? In this weather you'd think it would survive OK without for a while... Quote
theoptimist Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 according to all of the garges and breaker yards you can't bodge this due to the, how its laid out they have tried to work out different ways of doing just had an estimate from thwhite Swindon as tim frys can't do it next week 950 inc vat, plus recovery to pick my freelander up and get it there. tim frys were the same. glad i was sat down when they gave me that quote!!!! unfortunately they have my nuts in a vice as have no choice need my car desperately, due to where i live its a 1.3 mile drive way before you get to the road then steep climbs to get out, we have one car abandoned at the farm and the farmers cars stuck in front of his house due to the snow, can just about get about, as we have a disco but not road legal, cops wont be able to catch me in this weather thou so all good, cheers the optimist Quote
theoptimist Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 hi guys going to try to get a photo of the splitter up here but I was thinking, The feed pipe must be going straight through and the return would be where the auxiliary would be coming from or vice versa, if this is the case surely i could put a pipe connector connecting the feed straight through and a t piece to feed the auxiliary, this piece would have a valve in it would it? Does any one know how this flimsy bit of plastic works, as dealers wont tell me anything. Many thanks Theoptimist Quote
theoptimist Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 here is a photo of the broken splitter sorry its not that clear Quote
theoptimist Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 Hi guys if i tried using the T piece and the male to male pipe connector could this damage the engine if it didn't work or would the ecu flag up a problem, or could it not see a problem and damage the engine, many thanks Theoptimist Quote
