I seem to remember someone here had a list of pipe lengths and sizes to replace OEM.
I think its time to replace all the water hoses on mine for some sillicone type before the current ones turn into dust!

please make sure you order 3ply silicone and yes 8mtrs also worth doing the heater matrix ones just 1.5mtrs of 15 or 16mm will do

I'm not sure on spec here, did you use standard polyester reinforced silicone or Nomex or fluro-lined??? When you replaced your hoses.

If you get part numbers/cost can you put it on Noble parts site. So the next time someone asks all the data is there.

if im right,someone correct me if im wrong.the standard 3ply is for water.the nomex is high heat retardent and the fluro lined are for silicone hoses that have oil runnung through them.if you use the standard 3ply silicone with oil it will discolour really quickly.think the nomex and fluro are about twice the price of the standard though
