It shouldn’t break unless you’re really rough with it.
The difficult part is getting the mounting bolt undone. Was for me anyway - goes at a slight upward angle into the block.
Once that’s undone, top hose off, gentle wiggling back & forth should loosen it. Twisting motion rather than just pulling.
Then a good clean, bit of vaso to refit and I was away.

I’ve had the same pipe off & on about three times now with no damage.

Just take it steady.

Long shot, but does anyone have a coolant transfer pipe for the V6 engine.
Need to do a thermostat change, and I know the transfer pipe is going to brake, so trying to locate one first.

And most of them he removed the US from during his first term, but Sippy Cup rejoined... So not exactly new news

…………….
I rarely use the contacts list in the phone, I still dial them manually for most of my friends and family ………..

My particular annoyance is Voice dialling. It’s probably me at fault but it never calls who I want it to call.   
In the car, I press the steering wheel button and it beeps, I say the command for telephone and it prompts me to speak the persons name. For example, I say ‘Call Dad Mobile’ and the display says ’Calling Beefeater Torquay’.     As it happens, I do have Beefeater Torquay in my phone as we’ve used it several times, but how does it confuse ‘Call Dad’ with ‘Beefeater’. 
I had to stop using voice dial as the Beefeater in Torquay were getting pissed off with me calling them and hanging up. 

I used to get that with early versions of Siri - it always called one particular person, no matter what I said.

The voice system in the car works flawlessly for me, be it making calls, entering destinations, or using the stereo.  Mrs TheBoy however, it really doesn't like her carrot cruncher accent...   ...seeing as she lived around 7 or 8 miles from you, that must explain it.  Alexa completely ignores her as well, sensibly

 

At school they said that we sounded like faaarmers, so maybe your theory is correct, as Alexa ignores me as well.    The Audi has a 40 word speech recognition system for voice coaching, but it still gets it wrong.    My wife’s a townie so I’ll get her to try it next time.

I read today that he is pulling the States out of around 80 organisations and protocols that he considers "woke" and anti American.

Voice dialling is not so good if you have a speech impediment.

I can understand that. Dad,s been gone over 10 years but I can still remember his number off the top of my head.

I don't know anyone's number, I use their name. If I lost my phone, I'd be knackered

Very old man-ish
