Frequently asked questions

What is the NTC5686 top radiator hose and what does it do?
The NTC5686 top radiator hose carries hot coolant from the engine outlet to the top of the radiator on a Defender V8 petrol. The radiator sheds the heat before the coolant is drawn back through the engine. It's the upper hose in the cooling circuit, moulded to suit the V8 layout.
Which Defender does this top hose fit?
This top hose fits Defender V8 petrol models without air conditioning, from VIN FA428919. The moulded shape suits the V8 non-aircon engine bay, so confirm your engine and VIN before ordering. Air-conditioned cars route the cooling differently and need the matching hose.
Why do radiator hoses fail and when should they be replaced?
Radiator hoses typically fail as the rubber perishes, hardens or splits with age and heat cycling, common on older Defender V8 models. Signs include coolant leaks, soft or bulging sections, or visible cracking. A burst top hose can cause rapid coolant loss and overheating, so replace it once it shows wear.
