Bleed Screw in red anodised aluminium, fitted at the bleed point of the radiator hose circuit on the Td5 2.5L 5-Cylinder Turbo Diesel.

The screw closes the bleed port used to purge trapped air from the coolant circuit. Opening it while filling allows air to escape from the high point of the system so the coolant column fills completely, preventing an air lock that would otherwise leave the thermostat and heater matrix starved of flow.

Machined from aluminium and red anodised, it is a direct replacement for the original bleed screw PYP10008L.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PYP10008RED alloy bleed screw for?
The PYP10008RED is a cooling system bleed screw used to release trapped air when refilling the coolant. It fits the Td5 engine in the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006) and Discovery 2 (1998-2004). This is a red anodised alloy version.
What's the difference between this and the standard bleed screw?
The PYP10008RED is a red anodised alloy replacement for the OE bleed screw PYP10008L. It does the same job on the Td5 cooling system, but the alloy body is more durable and easier to spot and grip than the standard part.
Where is the bleed screw located on a Td5?
The cooling system bleed screw sits at a high point in the coolant circuit, typically on a radiator hose or water rail, on the Td5 Defender and Discovery 2. You open it to purge air while refilling to prevent airlocks and overheating.
