Land ranger dee side 4x4 quoted approx £25 each plus £45 labour to do the hoses at 6 years, they did say that they would usually only recommend if corroded.
Beware though, warranty direct are very strict on "servicing precisely to manufacturers schedule" policy. Give em an inch...........
Get em done is my thoughts. ....................................................................................................
If my wife ever sells my stuff for what she thinks I paid for them, you lot are gonna get some bargains!

Or their EGR valves, their EPB modules, their crappy SAT NAV, their ARB bushes, all the rest of their suspension components, their turbos (at a stretch), the alternators, their seat pads.... 
Agree your point about the lines. 10 years seems right with checks where they may corrode at the attachment points.
What I finding interesting is that on the Australia forum, the blokes tend to be saying that standard of reliability, the Land Cruiser/Prado, now that it has been updated a bit, is starting to make the D3/4's look reliable. Maybe like Land Rover, Toyota is now buying Denso, (their subsidiary), with regards to electrical and the like - you never know.
Apparently this is progress. I wonder if this is an opportunity for Lucas?  2005 LR3 HSE 4.4L AJ-V8 petrol; Traxide Dual Battery; PIAA 2500K Yellow Ion H11 Fog Light bulbs; CounterAct LT-2 Capacitive Corrosion control; LLumar AIR80 Blue clear Infra Red blocking side window film; Liftgate manual release; Schrader Valve "air in" mod to OEM air suspension reservoir tank; Akebono ceramic pads; OEM solid vented discs; LR4 design hitch receiver; Wiggs D4 MOST bluetooth module; Clock on the Dash; 3 Flash signal light mod; Backup Camera; 2015/16 Nav Data update.
