Anyone know where i can get one for a 200tdi defender?

A mis-placed swipe with a hammer saw the end of mine  :(

Is it the one under the gearbox?
If so throw it away, is only a water trap, if not, then don't know  :wink:

Yeah its the one over the turbo.. I wouldnt mind ussually, but i have hydraulic hoses running quite close to it... so another one would be handy..

what hydraulic stuff you got near it?
because i've not got one on my 200 or my 300 def.
i would have thought that most high quality hydraulic hoses would be resiliant to high temp. i have pirtek turbo feed and return hoses and they are fine, not affected by heat fron the turbo.
