TD42 GQ Patrol Clutch Hose

Righteo folks, long story short, the clutch hose has sprung a leak. Became an absolute bitch trying to select any gears and found the master clutch reservoir empty.

The leak is where the brackets holds the hose just above the passenger chassis rail and at this stage only when the clutch pedal is depressed.

At the end of the clutch hose is a metal block (not slave cylinder end), and from that block 2 metal pipes/tubes are bolted into it. one goes off along the bulkhead to the, the other goes to a bleeder nipple which sits right next to my fuel filter. So it would appear tha my system has 2 bleeder nipples, this one and another at the slave cylinder.

So in order to get home, got some DOT3 brake fluid and proceeded to refill and bleed the system using the bleeder screw above (was too much work getting under the car)

So now I'm looking for a bit of assistance with what is the correct clutch hose to get, apparently there's possibly a few different sorts.

Road runner have this one http://www.roadrunneroffroad.com.au/...g-Braided.html,
which apparently is to replace replace this with a steel damper line with a coil in it (kind of looks similar to my steel line but mine doesn't have a coil)

ATOC have this one http://www.atocauto.com.au/proddetai...5_01J10&cat=20, which only has one inlet so negating the need for the extra bleed screw. Which probably means only being able to bleed the system from the slave cylinder end under the car.

Patrolapart has this one http://www.patrolapart.com.au/produc...utch-hose-td42 and this one http://www.patrolapart.com.au/produc...hose-tb42-td42


Yeah and now I'm confused.................... help please, I'm not sure how long the current clutch hose will hold out for.

I have found roadrunner to be a good company with good products.

I am not sure what is right for you but not to sure that is matters as I have a tb42e on my TD.

Maybe someone will get all scientific with an answer.

could well be the same..... do you have the bleed screw in the engine bay like mine, or is your bleed just on the slave?

No point in checking my TB42E coz that's an auto ;)

Clunk,

Any of them will work, but as you already mentioned, it is easier to remove air from the top bleed nipple and the air will try to naturally work its way upwards.

I would grab the Roadrunner one, and worst case would be that you use the old upper bleeder line on the new hose .... best case is that it all just fits up nicely
