Frequently asked questions

What is the Top Coolant Hose (NRC5985) used for?

The Top Coolant Hose is the upper radiator hose on V8 petrol Defenders, carrying hot coolant from the engine outlet to the top of the radiator. It forms the return leg of the cooling circuit. This one is for V8 applications without air conditioning.

Which Defender does this V8 top hose fit?

This top coolant hose fits V8 petrol Defender from 1986 to 2006 without air conditioning, up to VIN FA428918. Check your VIN against that ceiling, since later cooling layouts and air conditioning variants use a different hose routing.

What are the signs a coolant hose like this needs replacing?

Coolant hoses typically fail by perishing, cracking or swelling with age and heat cycling. Watch for coolant weeping at the ends, soft or bulging sections, and overheating. On a V8 Defender it's worth renewing a suspect top hose before it splits.
