Events leading to the failure: driving the vehicle. Failure: one oil line from the engine to the front radiator burst. Consequence: oil was sprayed all over the engine bay and most importantly on the exhaust manifold. Part repaired / replaced: oil line replaced by stronger models (braided to avoid oil spraying in case of failure) and routed _away_ from the exhaust manifold. While fire was avoided for this instance, it came to my attention that all land rover 90 and 110 vehicles are prone to this type of failure (and maybe land rover discovery vehicles). A significant percentage of those vehicles have caught on fire.*jb updated 06/25/08 *bf updated 06/26/08
