Part needed

[jvsimmons]

Part needed, used or new. I need LR part number ERC9453. It is the fitting for the heater hose on a later 2.25 or 2.5 engines. It is a fitting with the thread 16m x 1.0. Some of these heater hose fittings used a tampered thread but this fitting threads into the head at the back of the 4 cylinder metric engines and is a straight thread. If anyone has such an item from a donner engine or a source in the US please let me know. RN does not have it. Thanks.

i have this problem with a new heat sensor but the adapter sticks out a ways and cost way too much, one day i'll just cut new threads or something.

It's available in England, but not cheap.

Blanchard have it listed & I think they will ship to US . Similar price to Turners. https://pablanchard.co.uk/Heater-Outlet-Metric-2.25-5-Bearing-s.5-Petrol-ERC9453.
I could get & send one over from the UK, but I would have to pay the VAT (sales tax.)

jp - Thanks but I had already found Turner Engineering. It was the $86 cost (including shipping as they quoted me) that caused me to place this post. Kinda high cost don't you think for a part that should cost about $15. Their shipping cost was more that the cost of the part itself! Hopefully someone will see this post and have an old metric 4 cylinder with this part that they can offer.

roverp480 - Thanks. I have purchased parts from Blanchard in the past - they respond quickly. I will have to check with them on the shipping cost. Turner's shipping was more than the price of the part: I did asked Turner if there was a less expensive way to ship the item but their answer was that what they quoted was the charge. They evidently don't trust the UK mail system and only use DHL. Suspect that the VAT is a lot less than the DHL shipping charge so if I cannot find a less expensive source I might get back to you, if that is ok with you.

Royal Mail is not shipping any parcels abroad at the moment due to some computer hacking issue.

Ive got most of a 1960 2.25 engine out under a tarp by my wood pile. Currently deeply buried in snow but if you can confirm parts compatibility from a '60 and send me a picture of where this part is mounted I can dig.

Adviars - Thank you for your offer! But I believe that the 1960 engine is "english threaded" and if you do have the part I need, it would not fit my engine. LR switched over to metric threads in 1980. My engine is a 1986 2.5L petrol so threads are metric. However I must thank you as your offer gave me an idea - maybe I should post my "parts needed" in the Defender section of the RN forum where it is more likely to find someone with the metric threaded part.
I am switching the 2.25 Diesel in my 1983 Series 3 County 88 with the Defender petrol 4 cylinder of the early Defender years.

Item number 163513472362 on ebay is a M16 x 1.0 male to 3/8 NPT female adapter. The seller is a place called Fittings Space. You could then use a 3/8 NPT to 1/2 5/8 hose barb.

Bob - Many thanks!!! Got to keep a bookmark for this place. In all my google searches Fittings Space never came up. Just placed the order. Found out that they do not advertise on google. sales person said that I am not the first land rover customer looking for these kind of fittings!

Glad to help. You'll likely need a copper sealing or crush washer for the fitting to cylinder head joint, but like the hose barb they should be available from plenty of places.

Sure thing. Im a toyota nerd but new to rovers. I didnt know when they made the switch but assumed 60 wouldve been too old (Hence posting before I started digging...)
Happy hunting.
