1999 Defender 110 Td5 SW Caledonian Blue

Coolant leak

Spotted a coolant leak.

Coolant drops on the intercooler hose on the right side of engine as you look at it. Coolant stains on the thermostat housing. A quick inspection with a torch and i think its coming from the top hose where it connects to the radiator.

A more indepth look tomorrow. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Had a look todat the leak certainly appeared to be coming from the top hose/radiator end.
I went to remove the spring loaded clamp thingy and this snapped along a clean break without very little pressure. I made the assumption, that this was the source of the leak and replaced this with a jubilee clip.

I need a good run now to see if this has resolved the issue.

What is the current name of these clips and what would be the correct size to replace with? 1999 Defender TD5 110
