@CodyJay glad you figured it out. With mine being an '11, I had to swap both hoses to these updated version when I did mine.

@scott schmerge Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I found the leak. Looks like the rubber deteriorated on the left side. Getting those screws off took some work. I'm good now. So, thanks again.

Why would I repulsive the crossover as it’s behind the water pump? Not sure I see your logic here

Because it’s virtually impossible to put in the new hose without removal of crossover pipe...speaking from experience. I also broke the elbow when replacing my water pump and had to replace this hose.

I second this. I too did the EXACT same thing and I'm 100% sure there are others.

I've done it without pulling the crossover pipe, but it's pretty damn difficult to put the thermostat back in. Not impossible, but it sucks. Pulling the crossover pipe is the correct way of doing it and while you're at it you should replace it at least once in its life.

Did LR release a "upgraded crossover" or do you expect to own a short lived LR overall? Just asking being that crossover seems to be known time bomb.....~~=o&o>.....

From what I know, LR didn't update the crossover pipe. They updated the water pump to thermostat pipe(s), which requires 2 updated pipes.

You would think LR would of spent a little more money on each vehicle now having higher quality materials used than these failing cheap AZZ quality but demanding high price plastic parts. The lost sales of LR buyers must outweigh any added upgraded production parts expense costs.They would of had a better reputation of producing a solid dependable longer lasting vehicle now catching new buyers market besides their loyal brand customers. They can't break LR's traditional mold they established many many years ago it wouldn't be British proper or now shall I say now India's tradition. So sad.....~~=o&o>......

Thanks Guys!!! I’m about to purchase these parts, but want to make sure these are them and not missing anything else that should be replaced. Also, if there is something that can be left out since nothing is broken right now, like the thermostat, gaskets, and thermostat hoses). My 2012 has 93,000 miles and none of these parts have been replaced. Much appreciated.
