I think the potential problem is that the Land Rover radiator is plastic instead of metal where the nipple is located. So this thing may not work.

The Mercedes and the BMW radiator (perhaps the Land Rover too) are apparently of the same "design" and manufactured by BEHR - (not necessarily the same size) and most everything, including this repair part, is plastic. For a couple of bucks, give it a try as it is a really elegant way to simply fix a simple problem.
