TDV8 3.6 coolant leak

So my recently acquired TDV8 3.6 has got a coolant leak, it would appear to be coming from one of the three metal pipes that are to the right of the engine (as you face it from the front)they are quite far back into the engine bay. I’ve gone through the workshop manual but cannot identify what the pipes are and how do go about changing them.

Anyone had anything similar and can share some advice, I got a big road trip to LeMans coming up for work and am due to take the RR so any help is really appreciated.

Cheers Dai

Yes I think so. Right towards the back almost near the bulkhead inline with the engine, which you don't realise quite how far back it actually sits in the engine bay.

I did this repair recently on my son’s car,those pipes are a shocking price if you can even get them.
I discarded the pipes completely and used 16mm internal diameter heater hose and stainless steel jubilee clips. I ran the pipes from the valve all the way to the bulkhead inlets clipped tidily to the original pipe mounting points.
There’s no a lot of room in there but it’s definitely doable by removing the big air intake behind the engine.

Interesting thank you. What even are those pipes called and where do they go?

Mine had tiny little pinholes in and they opened up more when hot so therefore leaked more when hot. I also used heater hose to fix. A couple of years back I think they were around 700 pounds from Land Rover. If you do a search there is a couple of threads on here 2016 4.4 diesel

Thanks
