Hoses and tubes

[tvrmk363]

Does anyone sell a kit to replace all the rubber hoses and tubes on and around the 350i engine?
Mine are most likely original and should be replaced over the cold winter months.

Hi Charlie.

ACT and ML performance do but there are still a few that you need to buy separately...

You could also try to match them up which can sometimes work out cheaper..

Hope this helps

Got a silicon set from ACT.
It is only all the 'special' hoses on a V8 wedge.
Standard hoses you need to order by length.

Most of them were robbed from old Fords, Jags and Landrovers... I think the V8's long heater hose was from a Transit van?
In the good old days my local motor factor would heave a box of random old hoses up onto the counter and you could rummage to your heart's content, same with suspension bushes, balljoints etc... but now that every car model from every manufacturer seems to be built entirely from parts only used on that model the pressure on space means that as soon as it's not selling it goes in a skip.

I've just had a bad experience with ASH. Don't bother trying to deal with them over the 'phone, they have a premium rate number. I've just discovered it cost me £7.95 chasing up the fuel hose I needed.
