TD5 automatic oil cooler pipes

[discokev]

Help, Whilst returning from a short stay in Northumberland this afternoon one of these pipes as burst off at approx 60 mph. You can imagine my horror at the side of the A1 when i pulled up with no drive on hard shoulder and the nearside of the disco and front of the caravan completely covered in dextron oil. Now ive been recovered and back in sheffield the situation looks a whole lot better mainly because im not getting nagged at,but where can i get these pipes from?.I normally use rimmer bros or paddock spares but they are'nt listed on any of these sites are they dealer parts only?. How long to replace?. Is there anything i should know before i start it. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi discokev

and welcome to the forum, you could remove the two hoses and find an aggricultural or plant engineers place and get them to make sum up as per sample for you, or find an hydraulic hose specialist like pertek as they come to you, hope this helps.

You could do as said above, or you could take your existing broken pipe into a hydraulic place depending on how bad your pipe is and get them to cut out the 'bad' section and make up a new replacement end.

Thanks for the replies fellas, i phoned Rimmerbros on the off chance to see if they could help me and got a result!!! they stock it.

The part should be here in a couple of days so ill be studying urban panzers pages to see how its done! Whilst talking about this issue does this happen a lot with TD5 autos cos il get this other pipe repaired rather than be off the road for any length of time.
