{"product_id":"hose-bypass-to-inlet-manifold","title":"Hose - Bypass To Inlet Manifold for Defender (1986 – 2006) V8 - 3.5 Carb only – ERC2319","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe bypass hose connects the coolant bypass circuit to the inlet manifold on the Rover V8 3.5 carburettor engine, maintaining correct coolant circulation when the thermostat is closed. This hose is a component of the engine's cooling system and prevents localised overheating around the cylinder head during warm-up. Deterioration of this hose - typically presenting as weeping at the manifold connection or visible cracking - will cause coolant loss and erratic temperature readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoulded rubber construction shaped to fit the specific bypass-to-inlet manifold routing on the Rover 3.5 V8 carburettor engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for direct OEM-equivalent replacement with no modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific to the carburettor variant of the 3.5 V8 - not suitable for fuel-injected or 3.9\/4.0 engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect hose clips and the adjacent thermostat housing hose when replacing, as these components share the same service interval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits the Defender (1986–2006), Discovery 1 (1989–1998), Range Rover Classic, and Series 3, all equipped with the 3.5 V8 carburettor engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure about fitment?
