Might be better to start with the symptoms to help identify the issue.

Apart from hoses, higher milage V6 have a habit of splitting bottom of intercooler. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Our Disco did this and felt like all but three horses had left the building while smoking on light to full throttle. Once detected using a smoke tester, all horse were stabled and no smoke.

Mines split the intercooler at 69k- so not that high. Got the dealer to change the hoses to silicone ones when he had the intercooler out. They come in sets of 3, the smallest one was a to fit apparently but the two bigger ones are on. |

cheers for replies everyone, other than a smoke test or pressure test how else can i check to see if the intercooler or pipes have split? i know a bloke who can do smoke tests but hes not exactly round the corner also it seems theres a fair bit of work in removing the intercooler so dont want to dive into it on a gamble. |

I was doing a coolant flush other week and checked on bottom end of intercooler pipe. The clip was loose and the end of the hose was full of grime and dirt. No split, just a loose connection. Car runs beautifully now, but could also be due to winter service and lots of tlc!

Might be a good idea to explain the problem you've discovered. I'm no expert but I think it may help those that are in diagnosing the problem. I see lots of white smoke this time of year. You could also be losing coolant so check levels and leaks. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.
